But what about the current "default" list that comes with Solr? How was that list, for all supported languages, determined?
What I fear is this, when someone puts Solr into production, no one makes a change to that list, so if the list is not "valid" this will impacting search, but if the list is valid, how was it determined, just by the development team of Solr / Lucene or input from linguistic expert?
