We don't.  I don't know the exact reason, but I know that while perusing
pg_upgrade's source recently I found several things that will need to be
changed there in order for it to be decently translatable.  Some _()
were in the wrong places, there are several cases of sentences being
constructed from parts, and so on.

If we were to move it to src/bin/ then we would have to talk about
translatability.  Prior to that I would think it's premature.  I mean,
if we don't consider it good enough to be in src/bin/, why waste
translator time on it?
