That's fine but po files can be seen nevertheless a little bit different because they contain the translated data. I believe the main argument is that you can better split the source and the default for developers is to build en-US only. Why checking out 600 MB if I don't build it at all? But this is probably an implementation detail only and can be changed at any time n demand. And if we have many more things that are not used at all we should think about removing them.
