Yes, basically.

Well, it isn't scientific, but assuming the spanish translation is
reasonably up-to-date, I have no problem with people correcting the
list to reflect the demographics in the linux survey (number of linux
users, not number of people in those countries).
I do *not* want to get into a situation (like we have) where people
are begging for languages to be included -- I'd rather use a more or
less objective criteria and stick to it. As AJ pointed out, we allow
for the language list to be customized pretty easily for folks wanting
to build an alternative set.
