Comment (by cvedovini):
I see at least two problems here:
1. this is a new file that has to be maintain centrally by people who
clearly expressed they were against the idea of fallback languagesat least
because it's a political nightmare
2. if I don't have the resources to provide say all versions of Spanish,
that the fallback for all Spanish locales is es_ES and have only a Mexican
translator, I will have to provide a es_ES with mexican translations.
Which is incorrect as far as labeling is concerned.
there is already a simple mechanism, built in the naming convention of
language files, I don't understand why you wouldn't want to use that.
