Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Reviewing the code base, along with the language considerations there is
 the following:

 **CSS class `.cheatin`**
 This and the associated HTML should probably be kept as is. If the HTML is
 changed, the class will need to remain in CSS to maintain back-compat for
 developers following Core's HTML structure.

 **`object.cheatin` in the customizer's JS**
 WP will need additional properties for new messages. For back-compat, the
 new default text can use the `cheatin` property.

 I think WP is stuck with these nods to the past, a language change is not
 worth breaking compatibility for.
