Since most of the languages are out of date, it looks like an awful lot, but it is more important to have continuous contributions than a one time shot. Once one has managed to get up to date, it is not that much work. There is about one commit per month to errore.msg and 4 checks per year are enough to really keep it up to date. Details of the format are of minor importance, then.

If the format is unimportant, why is that different please ?
