The default is really just "en". I believe the history on "en_GB" was to 
facilitate people who expected an exact match to their locale setting. I 
suspect it shouldn't be there at all, since it is byte-for-byte 
identical to the default locale.

I'll nuke en_GB from SVN. I suspect no one will even notice.

The most significant issue with expanding "en" to "American English" is 
that you end up with no option for "English", which is what most people 
would actually look for. Not having a more general options makes it look 
like the millions of English speakers who are neither American nor 
British are left out.
