For those of us who don't need NLS, not having it whenever possible is 
"simplicity." :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that people who need it have the 
opportunity to see things in their native languages, and I'd never want 
to take that away. But for those of us who don't, smaller libs/binaries 
+ less dependencies are good things. I hope you'll reconsider.
