I wouldn't expect it to be more brittle. However, my expectations might be
wrong :)

(or possibly uninstall-finalize; there are a number of possible placements
besides the one mentioned in comment 0)

Well, that's a possibility, too :)

Oh. I fail to see how this is relevant here. The current sequence is one of the
possibilities listed in the MSDN documentation; and actually I refuse to accept
that trying to be more fail-safe == pretend to be Windows-only.

/me thinks that UI_LANGS issue is not about Windows non-compliance.
In general, of course, I filed the bug to get feedback, and I'm glad and open
to any PoVs, have no strong feelings about both implementing or *not*
implementing the change.
