God, I hope you're joking here:) Anyway. I don't think localization should stop us from implementing it, but if someone will decide he wants to spend time on it, will be good to at least try. I prefer "it was too hard/complex/unclean" over "ha! didn't think of that". --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
