Comment (by knutsp):

 I agree that current behaviour, as described, is a regression. I 3.9 you
 can just change the locale in wp-config.php and update WordPress to a new
 version, as 3.9.2 nb_NO to 3.9.2 sv_SE.

 Over the years I have advised several clients that somehow got the wrong
 language version installed, to correct this by just editing wp-config.php.
 So, if this happens again and the current functionality will be what's
 released, I will have a hard time advising these clients to help
 themselves through a simple file edit. We are back to the situation many
 years ago, when, in these cases, you had to get the latest translation
 files downloaded and put them in the right place, and change WPLANG.

 So this either isn't ready to go, or a decision must be made to openly
 accept regression and make apologies for that. 4.0 should be great when it
 comes to localization.
