I won’t go so far to say I know the code inside out, but I’ll chip in my ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/d/ed944ccb914c88865820264c68337add7a914982.gif)

I looked to see if any tests might break if `current_user_rtl` or `site_locale_rtl` were removed. I found none and in fact the only place they exist in the Core code is in the models/rtl.rb file.  
So removing them might break some plugins if they are using them, but it shouldn’t break Discourse.

I don’t think “i18n” would need to be used in the proposed `enabled` but I’ve seen it used in other files.
