As multilingual content grows, interlanguage links become longer on Wikipedia articles. Articles such as "Barak Obama" or "Sun" have more than 200 links, and that becomes a problem for users that often switch among several languages.
For how many users is this a problem? How do you estimate this? I think it's good that the user is a little overwhelmed with how many languages are available. The use of Geo-IP will be interpreted as a political tool that tries to enforce certain languages in certain geographic areas, which would be contrary to the mission of the Wikimedia Foundation, that says all the world's knowledge in your own language.
What a delight to see someone which is more paranoic than myself on this topic. ;)
If a user finds it offensive that an article is available in some languages that she somehow dislikes, let her login and select which ones should be hidden. The burden should be on that user. Wikipedia should provide knowledge, not hide it.
On the other hand cluter can be an effective way to hide or obstruct the access to information.
