--- Comment #12 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com> ---
There is no consensus, and in fact there is opposition to the addition of en_*
locales for all countries that deal with English. Stated reasons include: size
of install, increased number of locales to pick from, complexity on the user
side for selecting those locales (Chris Leonard's "maximum parsimony" theory
;-)). Instead the generally accepted idea is that you should mix-and-match the
LC_* variables as needed, with the knowledge that this is not the most flexible
way to solve this problem. Individual distributions are free to include
whatever en_* locales they wish to build to suit their users. Likewise, users
can do the same thing.

Therefore until there is consensus formed around this issue I'm marking this
bug as RESOLVED/WONTFIX.
