To be fair, I think the statement of yours which people are taking most
issue with was "perhaps there are more important things than Welsh and
Irish i18n".

Strictly speaking, no, it's not deterrence, but it does imply that those
who spend their time on such endeavours are doing something less
important than other, presumably more worthwhile, tasks.

To be honest, languages aside, suggesting certain efforts are less
important than others is always likely to raise hackles :)
