I would have thought there's be a lot of cross over between en_AU and
en_UK as in terms of spelling and similar related things the language
is pretty much the same with the only major difference being keyboard
layout. So from that point of view what is the impact in terms of
size.

There is hopefully one planned this year but the people involved in
doing it are somewhat quiet at the moment.
