Re: splitting root floppy by languages

This would give us:

Asian root: 4languages : ja, ko, zh_TW, zh_CN
Cyrillic root: 3Languages : ru, uk, bg
BIDI root: 2languages : ar, he

Others root: 29languages


(the current target is 38 languages supported....2 being currently not
started)

The BIDI support heavily depends on current work. If we do no succeed
in finding a way to displat RTL languages, we will be forced to drop
them from languagechooser.

It this technical (or pseudo-technical) split is enough, it has my
preferrence. Otherwise, we could very quickly run in non-technical
problems (is Lithuanian part of Scandinavian or East-European or
whatever....).
