I added brions text above to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Locales_for_the_Wikimedia_projects
put a deprecated note on the page and removed all red links.

For creating clean locales, I propose to set up a wiki only for this 
purpose where a team of volunteers can translate the locales via the 
mediawiki namespace in a coordinate effort (doing this via the mediawiki 
namespace has the advantage that you can test the stuff live and see 
formatting errors instantly). At a certain deadline these translations 
could be all converted at once into the according Language files and 
released together with mediawiki. If that's sounds feasible to you and 
someone sets up a wiki for this, I'm willing to maintain the german 
language version.
