--- Comment #1 from Andrea Pescetti <[email protected]> ---
Using flags to identify languages is always a bad idea; or, to be precise, it
works well for a lot of languages, but it is very problematic in other
situations.

You could still have a point since indeed the flags you propose would not be
linked to languages but to locales (so the flag would not be for "English", but
for "English as spoken in the UK", and applying a flag to it would be less
problematic); but still this would mean that we expose ourselves to political
discussions about the proper flag to use for Basque and Catalan, for example.

In the end I see this as a risk to be evaluated before discussing any
implementations.
