What is being questioned here is the validity of this policy. Erik stated
that if you cannot get someone to be bothered to set up the message files,
it is reasonable to expect you cannot setup an encyclopedia either. Mark now
answers that it has been done a few times. So that removes one argument.
Apparently, now the reason that it is policy is that the committee has
decided it is. Which is a rather lame reason in an open organization as the
Wikimedia foundation is (I think) hoping to be.
