A lot of that has come from not having a formal policy on what's 
translatable, so it's all adhoc, and eventually that's where we've 
gotten to.

I'd be +1 on to LOG.error/warn/info as i18n, and LOG.debug to have that 
removed if we could bake that into policy. There would still be time to 
fix that for grizzly, and maybe even get a hacking.py extension to check 
for and enforce that.
