Thing is, this feature *is* going to be used. Just not by projects that you are likely to stumble into. Most OpenSource projects will continue to stick to English-only, and posts to English-speaking newsgroups will also stick to English. But Closed-Source programs and posts to non-English newsgroups *can* use this feature if their developers want. And you still wouldn't even notice.
