I already cited that where you posted it at meta. It doesn't list any 
reasons against using an en.* URL for English articles, which is as you 
say "only a minor component" of the language integration.

For someone who says that "more effort should be put into building the 
cross-link capabilities" and "there should be the option of having 
Recent Changes show changes from any array of the languages", you're 
putting an awful lot of effort into stalling useful work to those ends 
by yakking on over this tiny thing.
