It was a solitary decision by Arnomane. He does raise a good point -
"it does harm severely the up to date localised pages if you need to
search them between lots of other links, others are still accessible
directly" - there is a link to "other languages" at the end of the
language list, so nothing is lost, really, just made less prominent,
although I think that making the links to more up-to-date languages bigger
and the other ones smaller would probably be a better idea.
