That sounds like a sensible objection.
There are scripts, etc. in the wild that parse this output.
which is another reason we would not want to change this.
Are there? For what purpose?
Especially when these are all _("l10n ready"), I find that somewhat
unlikely.
The bash completion (in contrib/) does read from the command list
IIRC. I do not think it relies on the messages, though.
