12 this would allow a small # of bugs to creep into our system (some packages run
13 programs and then grep the output for english strings and miss setting
14 LC_{MESSAGES,ALL} to C first), but that might easily be smaller than the burden
15 placed on bug-wranglers ...

17 i'm indifferent to setting LC_MESSAGES=C in the default make.conf (i.e. via
18 catalyst). i don't think it should be in the profile's make.defaults.
