We could check locales_to_be_generated against the current list of locales, and if one of the locales that is no longer present has been selected, we migrate it using a list of known disappeared locales and their subtitutes (and use "None" as fallback substitute if the disappeared locale isn't known). As for default_environment_locale, we can wrap such check within a function and use it here, too. Would you like a patch for that? > but I add --no-checks for now.
