I don't understand how dvorak being language-based is a consequence of
that. It's an intrisic of dvorak layouts to be language-based.

Which scheme are you talking about? Calling it "insane" doesn't help
the discussion, really. I'm here talking about arranging variants in
the nl layout so that in my proposal (several size-increasing lists of
layouts), the us variant appears in the very first list thanks to being
announced in xkb-data's nl layout, the rationale being that it's really
widespread in NL (that wouldn't be the case for FR for instance).
