I don't think it would be harsh.  Things change, ideas change,
criteria change.  The mentioned translators probably don't even
know that they are in the easter-egg list -- if they did, I would
have expected at least one of them to make a token protest,
for being given too much honour, since most of them are also
already mentioned in the THANKS file.
