Some ports in snapshot that include .po or .mo catalogs
different to es_ES are (just listing few without repetition):
davical es_AR es_MX es_VE
gnomebaker es_CO, es_CR
poedit es_PR
zarafa es_CA
The following packages have other localization files practically for
every spanish speaking country (in the list I sent I have to add es_CA and
es_US that are already there):
concrete5, icinga-web, ocaml-camomile, p5-DateTime-Locale, py-babel,
py-turbogears, zendframework
Regarding the situtation with other languages, in
/usr/src/share/locale/ctype/Makefile
I find the following languages with countries pointing all of them to the
same cmap definitions:
* de_AT, de_CH and de_DE
* fr_BE, fr_CA, fr_CH, fr_FR
* it_CH, it_IT
* nl_BE, nl_NL
Why spanish is treated differently?
Finally I don't live in Spain but in Colombia, so I should be able to
use es_CO.

Yes, but unfortunately OpenBSD's locale implemnentation doesn't yet
support much of what you mention above. AFAIK we currently only
support the LC_CTYPE locale category.
Please show me a real benefit of this change within the current
implementation, or extend the implementation to create a benefit.
Or you could identify some ports which install message files where
adding new spanish locale variants will really make a difference. If such
ports exist, I'm happy to add the corresponding locale variants.
But I'm not going to bother making no-op changes to the system.
