My usual assumption is that people thought about this when setting
up the current guess-the-langcode system. In other words, there
must be a good reason. The only one I can think of is the problem
of changing langcodes (like the change to X11-compatible names we
did some time back).

Yes, this could help a lot, because it makes it possible to set the
LANGCODE, maybe different binaries (especially for the generation
of .txt files, this seems to be broken for DE still), etc.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and
then beat you with experience.
