Internationalization is actually quite important, and is not easy to
bolt on after the fact but is fairly easy to program to once the core is
in place.  The fact that sysinstall doesn't have it makes it no less
important.  Now this isn't a reason to reject the DFly work, but it
could certainly be a good area for someone to contribute.
