Did I get it right? You want to create a totally new orthography by combining
two existing ones? Who would benefit from it? Who would use it? Who would
create it? How would you ensure that is is acceptable to both parties, neutral
and unskewed?
People can easily changes language after logging in. For unregistered users it
is not so easy, but that is an another bug.
There seems to be just too many worms in this can that I do not want to open
it. It is too much political. The language community should first tackle the
issue themselves... it is totally possible to agree on orthography, request ISO
code, setup own installation of Translate extension and create localisation or
whatever they want - outside of MediaWiki and outside of WMF. When this is all
in place then it is ok to request adding a new localisation to MediaWiki.

I do not know if the any existing Wikisources have problems about not having
"neutral locales", but I think they are doing fine. There can't be a neutral
locale if such doesn't exists. Can the community perhaps reconsider the policy?
Where is it documented? The whole thing doesn't seem to be fully thought out.
