My expectation, as a user, after having changed the language in the Windows
Control Panel, is that it takes effect on all programs (including mingw and
Cygwin programs).

I don't exactly understand what you mean? Will you request a change to the
base-files package? Even if so, such a change has no effect on the .profile
and .bashrc of users that have already a Cygwin installation, right? It has
only an effect on users when they _create_ a new home directory in Cygwin, 
right?
