I wonder how far we can get by doing something along the lines we use for

Having the Intl.Foo algorithms returning different data over time is, IMO, even
worse than deciding that certain locales are less important than others. Aside
from Math.random, of course, I can't think of anything in JS that has different
behavior on the same inputs over time.

For one, I don't think that's true for "web". You might think so in
terms of stuff in the js specs, but the distinction between that and
html5 and all kinds of server errors and timing differences is just theory.
More importantly, the impact of supporting a finite set of languages can
easily be the nail in the coffin for the others. I don't think that's
what mozilla stands for.
