 Definitely correct, and yes Transient API fits much better in that case.
 Here https://github.com/itma/WordPress/commits/l10n-caching-transient-api
 /wp-includes/l10n.php I've been working on the ticket, and made a first
 step porting the code into Transient API.

 Good catch, I will follow that.

 that, For hooks, I >definitely see value in a hook for "languages updated"
 and a way for developers to disable the >caching entirely for their use
 case

 Definitely good idea! Will follow that.

 Sure, numbers are always welcomed. At the end I will prepare a little sum
 up. For now I need nothing from you, just have to take hands dirty, and
 dive into that ticket ;-)
