And, yes, I'm sure there is a good reason somewhere, but en_GB makes no obvious sense.
RFC5646 is used for allocating language codes.
In http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang...ubtag-registry

The IANA subtag "GB" is defined as :
Type: region
Subtag: GB
Description: United Kingdom
Added: 2005-10-16
Comments: as of 2006-03-29 GB no longer includes the Channel Islands and
Isle of Man; see GG, JE, IM

and Ukraine is :
Type: language
Subtag: uk
Description: Ukrainian
Added: 2005-10-16
Suppress-Script: Cyrl

So I think that is probably the reason - uk means somewhere else entirely in the context of language codes, if not in the assignment of TLDs.
