Comment (by ocean90):

 Some questions:

 '''1) Should users locale be inside `get_locale()`?'''
 Maybe, but not as in [attachment:29783.patch] because it requires us to
 ''reset'' the locale back to the site locale for things like API stuff,
 `wp_credits()`, options-general.php, or update-core.php.

 '''2) Do we need something like `get_users_locale()` to avoid `add_filter(
 'get_user_option_site_language', '__return_false' );`?'''
 Yes, maybe `get_locale( $user = true|false )` can work too.

 '''3) Currently the themes and plugins API sends the result of
 `get_locale()` too. Is this good?'''
 That's fine for the plugin details, but it should download all language
 packs, at least the ones for user's locale and the site language. User's
 locale for plugin details and language packs for every? installed
 language.

 '''4) Should the locale be limited to the admin only? What about the
 toolbar?'''
 Filtering a locale for the front-end shouldn't affect
 `language_attributes()` or `is_rtl()`.
