daniel added a comment. It's about 10x harder //and// 10x more error prone than just picking sr-el or sr-ec explicitly, instead of picking just sr. You have to pick a language anyway.
Disallowing plain "sr" for input is an easy task, and should hopefully uncontroversial. Auto-detecting languages or variants is a heuristic with the potential to introduce errors, has no clear scope (which languages can be detected), and needs quite a bit of scaffolding (we need to architecture a place for the detection logic to live). Auto-detecting is nice, but I'd consider it a long term feature request. In contrast, I consider dropping support for plain "sr" a relatively simple bug fix. The only issue may be that the community is actually (ab)using this issue as a "feature" in some way. There is an annoying tendency among users to rely on bugs, and complain when you fix them...
