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.
