Its one of a number of flavours of English that can only be implemented through the addition of a language pack. Other languages (Welsh, for instance, as I live in Wales) you can get as a complete OOo version in the required language (via the NLC's web pages). However, the add on language packs are very difficult to find, if you don't know about them. Of course, this is not particularly a Marketing issue, except that in some countries bilingualism is an issue and the ability to swap languages at the application and document levels, is an important plus point, and to do so, access to add-on language pack is necessary. I would like to see a link to these add-on language pack. I can never remember the location myself, and always have to go searching through old emails. As for whether an English NLC is needed, I have no particular view. What is needed is more visibility of the various flavours of English on offer and more visibility of add on language packs in general.
