Currently, "install everything" is treated as a bug - see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405485 If you ignore LINGUAS and install everything, you break the long-established convention for what LINGUAS does, make users angry, waste disk space, and increase build time for packages with lots of translations - all for no good reason other than forcing uniform USE_EXPAND conventions in a place where they aren't wanted. -Alexandre.
