Comment (by rmccue):

 I am -1 on hiding this at all. If we're deprecating options with the
 intent of removing them, then hiding for default makes sense. However, it
 doesn't seem like there was agreement here on whether we actually should
 remove it. Additionally, assuming that this is purely something determined
 by the language also strikes me as incredibly weird.

 As an example, the ICLU data above notes the week starting on Monday for
 the UK, while starting on Sunday for the US and Australia. This is
 inconsistent with the current defaults (UK, US, and AU all start on Monday
 in the current data), and makes an unreasonable assumption that there's a
 single choice (in AU, which you use likely depends on your age).

 I get that we're trying to simplify the options here, especially for those
 that aren't used in core (although as noted, this one is), but this is an
 option that belongs in core more than it does anywhere else.

 Recommend revert.
