Some comments...
- Having fallbacks listed that are just an identity transformation is
wasteful; eliding those is best
I agree to that. These can be removed...
- Fallbacks like:
ar_AE ar_AE:ar_SA ar_BH ar_BH:ar_SA ................. ................. ar_SY ar_SY:ar_SA ar_TN ar_TN:ar_SA ar_YE ar_YE:ar_SA
seem pointless, given that *nothing* ships country-specific Arabic translations.
I agree and these can be removed. only "ar" or "ar_SA" could exist.
The approach could have some use, but I'm very concerned about the data population for it, and how it would stay maintained.
The language fallback order can be requested by individual language teams. Hence an entry could be introduced through a bug/feature request. Or initially one bulk entry for fallback orders which are apparent, which could later be moderated through request.
