Mark, what I think people are not saying explicitly is that there's a "boy who cried wolf" syndrome in effect here. Because the constant flow of requests _comes from you_, those individual requests are not being treated with the interest or respect they might be if they came from other people.
Guilt by association is not cool, but the effect is real and it is there. It's an ugly cycle, and we need to break out of it.
Instead of everybody flooding the mailing lists with a lot of petty back-and-forth over many separate things, node could you please put together a single list of the languages you'd like to see added?
