IIUC, we can install or remove languages together with their localizations, like for French or Spanish. 
Only in special cases there are different features for en_GB/en_US or pt/pt_BR.
Some would like to keep only a specific localization, and remove others. There were few Ask tickets also.
Idea is to make localizations subfeatures of a certain language, so that they may not be selected in installation, or removed later.
