It's not just messages. And also, if there a lot, then there should be critical (yes, this IS critical) bugs filed for every single project saying "there are t calls missing" and adding a few examples. Let the (co)maintainers find the others. It's not that you shall scourge 1000+ modules.

t() must be a habit because if you get used to output raw, then you will have an XSS hole before long which t() could have avoided. That's why it's critical.
