I see it's quite apparent you dont understand the intensity of the labor
involved for maintaining 5474 (yes, I /just/ counted) different URL's in
moonbase for particular locales would be. This system would be
unreliable and prone to more issues than are in the current system for a
*typical* user. We cannot tailor everything for everyone. We cannot
please everyone all the time. We strive to please as many users as we
feasibly can without straining our [quite small] resources.
