There is flood of hook request for this extension. This extension wants 
to add options to the way translations are handled.

IMO translation handling is core business for a CMS. The changes involve 
many parts of the core. The core should be as light weight as possible 
(in terms of performance), but all the hook requests already mean extra 
code, even if the extension is not installed.
A few more extensions like this and every other line of code in some 
parts of the core is a hook call ;-)

Wouldn't it be better to implement these features in the core? 
Especially if they can be built in a way which has very little impact to 
existing code in terms of performance.
