As a native speaker of en_GB, en_AU and en_NZ with well over 60 years of
experience, I see very little point in 'standardising' on either _US or _GB.

For the past I don't know how many years the computer industry has not had a
defined en_ 'standard' language.

In most cases, simply because the majority of applications from the commercial
world have been written in the US, that 'standard' has been en_US.

I feel confident that the vast majority of EN-speaking users couldn't care less
about which flavor of EN colours their favourite programme.

I note with interest that bugzilla uses an en_US dictionary, so let's leave the
default flavour of English as en_US.
