:) No, it's quite the opposite. everything starts from a single opinion. I
would also prefer to stick to more natural sounding phrasing, but the tools
available at the moment don't allow for that.
It is usually accepted in code internationalization that concatenation and
other similar processes should not be used to generate natural language
strings. So there are 2 ways to deal with that: either you simplify the strings
to the point where there are as little variations possible (my choice for
packages.el) or you use strings redundancy to cover all the possible variations
with processes that support that (which we don't have at the moment).
