So, do you think that "en" should be equal to "en_UK" instead of "en_US" (USA has a significant part of population that prefers e.g. Spanish over English)?

I'd prefer "en" to mean "English without any country specific details (compatible with all international standards where possible)" instead of "English with random country specific details".

I'm aware that historically "en" has been equivalent to "en_US" but is there any actual reason for this?
