I think that we should have a default locale for "pt" for users who have
"Portuguese" (without any variant) as the next preferred language. If it
redirects/aliases for pt-PT or pt-BR, it will depend on the metrics used to
decide this. For historical reasons pt=pt-PT, as Portuguese from Portugal
(pt-PT) is considered the mother language while Portuguese from Brazil is a
variation/fork from Portuguese from Portugal. "pt-PT" is also the reference
language for other countries like Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau,
Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Equatorial Guinea, East Timor and Macau (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Portuguese). If you base your
decision on the number of users, then "pt-BR" should be your choice for
"pt". The important think is to have a solution for the "pt" and give them
a option more close to their native language, without having to keep
another locale for this to work.

Cheers,
