Especially if it is just a few lines of code to support an i18n. It depends on the popularity of the script. Something like AJaxRC has been changed quite a few times recently just to add localization. Also recently, someone was complaining because of a tiny change they could have made without requesting yet another review.

In fact, that split is the reason why MediaWiki is so flexible. Almost every single interface element can be changed using the Mediawiki namespace.
