I don't disagree.  However it's a lot easier to say "we don't support
your language because there was no translation for it upstream" than to
say "we don't support your language because we didn't think it was
important enough to include on the media.  Sorry.".

Still, some thought could be put around having regional editions of the
live image that include a set of the languages for that region or some
other ideas such as that.  It just takes somebody playing around with
it (:  The good news is that the tools are relatively easy so that
those playing at home can try things out instead of waiting for
something to fall out of the Red Hat black box.
