My suggestion is that all of this "busy" work is highly automatable, but I'm sure he has a greater ability to assess the complexities of this work than I do.
In general I feel that we should be thinking about "how would we make this work" instead of "why should we not do this".

Your objections seem to be based on the assumption that you would need to have push access to all repositories, but I think that's the point of DCVS, you can just fork them, and then people can pull your changes in themselves (or using a tool). Pull requests could even be generated when things are out of sync.
I think it's quite possible this could make i18n/L10n work easier, not more difficult.
You seem to miss Siebrand's point: curerently, all localisation updates take one commit per day. Splitting stuff to separate repos will result in up to 400 commits per day that will also need to be pushed and reintegrated - an epic waste of time and common sense. Or localisation will simply lie aside in forks and people will miss them when checking out from the "official" source.
