Comment (by grapplerulrich):
> I can see some theoretical or political reasons why locales should be
kept separated but from a purely practical standpoint, me having to
provide 4+ version of spanish files where one would be enough to make most
people happy is just ludicrous and actually prevent them from using my
plugins in their language.
You could just as easily rename the spanish files instead of having the
rest of the users have to create a "es" file.
@vanillalounge mentioned that this should be optional. We could always
allow users to define the fallback language when defining the language
that they need. `define ( 'WPLANG', 'es_ES', 'es_MX' )` Most people need
to make the change in wp-config.php so they may just as well define the
fallback languages. We can always provide a few examples in the codex that
people can copy.
