Speaking about me, as you can notice _all_ your proposed
localization changes commited into -current as result of some
kinda discussion happens. Speaking about Poul I saw his commit
of your proposed malloc change even without any discussion.
So, I don't understand, what makes your
uncomfortable here. Do you mean that customer demands must be
accepted immediately even without comparation with global project
strategy? Even they are accepted it not generally means
that someone from the FreeBSD team forced to work on them...
(well, nobody pay me for localization f.e. :-)
