Several dozens messages ago in this thread I would have dropped this item, TBH. *Maybe* I would consider changing the specific messages around the specific code that's being tinkered with, but probably not other ones. I haven't looked at this patch recently, but if it's changing 1% of the error messages in the backend, I doubt it's a good idea. More in general, if I see strong, well-rationalized opposition to some non-essential idea of mine, I tend to drop it because I don't see the value in arguing endlessly.
