My 2c:

I know of that... but no (or maybe a few 😉 ) plugin maker or even WordPress itself did follow up on that as you can see in the wp-config-sample.php I quoted above.

A year ago I tried to do it as you describe and declared define('WPLANG', 'nl'); in my wp-config.php, but found myself renaming files on every update of every plugin... it is just not done.

I've translated quite a few plugins and themes, and this issue always causes confusion.

A few versions ago we named all of our language packs with the 'double' code and had a lot of complaints about that so now we do it the proper way.
There is an article on our current V4 wiki about this and this will also be written up in the new V5 codex.

Respect that. As I did say... my 2c... It is just my opinion/experience as a none anglo (dutch) user... so renaming it is!
BTW: Looked it up at the dutch wordpress site and the proper dutch language code is officially "nl_NL".

No that is just the WP interpretation. By 'official' I mean official in terms on international agreement of whatever bodies decide these things. WP have it wrong.

As I say, in the past we have tried it both ways and we always get complaints from half the users! You can't get it right for everyone.
