    I don't really see the point of adding this to Mailman, and
    keeping this patch open in the patch queue.

    Why is it important to disable all languages except english ?

    Partially it's a size-of-distro issue. Fully i18n Mailman
    is huge. The other problem is that providing patches for
    micro releases is a pain because of the binary .mo files.

    How about something like the attached patch then ? That,
    with something like 'make english_install' or 'smallinstall'
    or whatever, could be used to install only the english
    templates/messages. I would say it adds only minimal
    overhead to regular Mailman, and it makes installing
    languages as a separate package a lot easier.
