Yes, we discussed this internally as well as a better path to exposse
Wikipedia's multilingual nature than to dump a long list of native
language names in the sidebar (we might have an expansion link such as
"Show X other languages" to indicate the large number of language
versions available). I hope this is a path to an acceptable
compromise. I support the rationale behind collapsing the full list:
the vast majority of the information in it tends to be noise to the
average user.
