I also had similar thoughts in the past.
What do people think about us, when they see such a massive language
list, with absolutely stupid looking (and some wrong) entries?
"Debian is completely crazy" ?
"They are unable to or have no interest in maintaining their system well" ?
The problem would be: which do we want to display and which
not. You would need some clever logic (if this possible) or need
to maintain a list by hand. Which would be an unthankful job,
and it costs time.
That's an issue indeed ...
