Yearggg... oh bother... |

It's been like that for a whilst so I took it as a hint and just updated |

8 servers this way... |

I *think* I actually have very little need for nls? I believe that |
| 12 |
given it's "a server" and given only admins who all speak the same |
| 13 |
language will access it, then the only times I need nls are for specific |
| 14 |
client applications which need translation? So as near as I can tell I |
| 15 |
only need it for certain web applications (PHP, squirrelmail, etc) - can |
| 16 |
someone confirm or deny that this is a correct understanding of how nls |
| 17 |
actually works out? |

The main reason I care is that I have a lot of linux-vservers and it's |
| 20 |
obviously helpful to sync USE flags across as many machines as practical |
| 21 |
in order to make use of binary packages. |

Anyone care to comment on why else I might care to standardise on nls |
| 24 |
enabled or disabled for a mail/web server type installation? |

It's been very deliberately marked as removed, so I wondered if there |
| 27 |
was a history of bugs in gettext which argued for it not to be on by |
| 28 |
default? |
