(Get the code!)
No reason to talk more about the rejection, as you put it, since it was just a temporary state in the development Oneiric.
But how is it confusing to the user to "hide" entries it cannot use? Wouldn't it be much more confusing to present to the user several language options that do not really exist?
On an updated Oneiric there is typically only one French language option: "French". When selected, two things happen:
1. The list of languages in the LANGUAGE environment variable is updated in ~/.profile.
2. The locale fr_FR.UTF-8 is used to set LC_MESSAGES, LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE in ~/.profile. The reason why the French country code is choosen is simply that France is the main country where French is spoken.
May I suggest that you click the "Help" button in the Language Support window and review the help document. It describes how languages and locales are dealt with.
