In that case it's a rather unfortunate that there's quite a prominent link to it from "meta utilities" on meta's front page! But notwithstanding MediaWiki, there are other things which individual language users may wish to customise, such as magic words, words for "left" "right" "centre" "thumb" etc. for the image syntax, namespace names, etc., which are among the things I've been trying to update on cy. There is still a need for user communities to be able to attract the attention of developers.
I have to agree. There's also a request for the Minnan language file to be uploaded (for the first time, so this is more than a correction of spelling or some other small refinement). I understand well-established Wikipedias are generally past the point of needing to upload these files. And I understand developers have much more interesting ideas to work on (say, making the hardcoded messages customizable in MediaWiki namespace?) than doing this scut work. But something needs to be done so that localization efforts on smaller Wikipedias can climb out this apparent limbo.
Having said that, I appreciate and really look forward to, having more strings accessible via the namespace.
