Developers of Sympa

[address@concealed]

For handling natural language messages, I noticed that Sympa uses
the Pure Perl gettext routines, yet the author of that module
recommends:

   "Normally you should not use this module directly, but the
    high level interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a
    much simpler interface."

Was there a deliberate decision to ignore this advise in
implementing Sympa?  Or was it a matter of already being familiar
with GNU gettext and wanting to stay with that API?
