Let me translate Greg's statement: if doing something for i18n now
means risking delaying 1.0, then no. But if it's a matter of "Do it
this way and make it harder for i18n, do it that way and make it
easier", and this and that are basically equivalent, then by all means
we should do "that".

And of course, if you're volunteering to help with such things, then
that makes a difference.

(However, until M3 there won't be much activity even on "that"s.)
