--- Comment #10 from Pander <pander at users dot sourceforge.net> ---
As long as very local languages such as fy_DE, fy_NL, li_NL, nds_NL, nds_DE et
cetera are being supported here while these don't even have a spell checker and
lack translations in for many main applications, I think it support of locales
for Esperanto and English for countries is validated.

Mixing of locale categories simply doesn't work as it should. Configuration
tools of operating systems don't support it and doing it manually in
configuration files or start-up scripts is of most users way too complex. But
it is even more subtle:

Looking at existing locales such as en_DK, en_SE, en_DE and en_NL, about 50% to
75% of such locale can be accomplished with reuse of existing definitions via
copy. However, the remaining part, are custom definitions for certain
categories that cannot be realized by copy alone. The mixing of definitions are
within the specific category.
