I still need to be convinced about this change.

Indeed, what you propose is showing a list with:

Andorra
Catalunya Nord (Francia)
Catalunya Sul (Espanya)
L'Alguer (Italia)

Instead of the current:

Andorra
Francia
Espanya
Italia

(sorry for the probably mistakes)

I have strong objections with that. Locales are supposed to be a
combination of a language and a country and proposing something else
would just induce confusion to users. I'm afraid I'm also not fond of
the regionalism that seems hidden behind this.

My opinion only, but it will need a lot of work to convince me to make
this change to localechooser and I'm afraid it won't be liked by Frans
Pop as well.

So, even though I'm not the maintainer of iso-codes, I do not vote for that
chnge.
