The problem is actually shipping and loading such a file.

Imagine an application that is only run in English (no L10n) and for which the 
source code has proper, English messages. Will it occur to the developers that 
they have to provide the en_US translation file from Qt?

No, it won't. We need to get rid of that file.

PS: I can't find it. Shouldn't we have at least one in qttranslations?
