Comment(by azaozz):

 [14287] also adds couple of very marginal hooks on the "Show on screen"
 string that IMHO are useless. Why would a plugin want to change a
 consistent, UX checked, translated string to an (mostly) untranslated,
 inconsistent one?

 Each hook adds a bit of processing time and more importantly each hook is
 a big "STOP" sign in future development. Once introduced it cannot be
 changed or all plugins using it would break. This adds complexity,
 possibility of introducing bugs and more backwards compatibility checking
 so new hooks should be added "sensibly".
