Hoi,
Changing the messages in this way may be good from a performance perspective
it really hurts the usability of our messages. Messages are localised at
translatewiki.net and this is where we do require these messages. When
messages are to have hardcoded strings as you propose you defeat the
objectives of using a set of messages that are universally usable.
In my opinion your proposal has really nasty side effects so my question is
how you want to ensure that we are not working cross purposes.
Thanks,
GerardM

I asked about this a while ago.

asking on-wiki doesn't really makes much sense, as I don't read it ;-p
Anyway, we have to ensure, that most of wikis (at least top20 ones)
have got ridden of curly braces and any other expensive parser stuff
in these messages, as that costs them up to 10 milliseconds per
pageview (if anyone writes a bot to do this automatically, I'd gladly
run it with my global super duper privileges :)) :
