By that reasoning we can never remove anything from the list and will have to accept that it will keep growing indefinitely. A tad defeatist, don't you think?

It's the other way around: if the list contains Danish, Finnish and Swedish, why not add Norwegian? If it has a silly entry for C, why not add one for Pascal? And so on.

The file says in the very beginning:

  It is not intended to be comprehensive, but to demonstrate
  some of the character sets that Emacs supports.

If you think this text is insufficient to deter ill-advised additions, we can strengthen it.
