That would not be my decision to make. Perhaps amazon will release a later firmware update that consolidates all the languages into one set of firmware, but they may have more languages they want to add first. Or, they may prefer not consuming storage space in the kindle mmc and just continue distributing different firmware for different countries. I do not know what information they will use to make that decision, but it will probably take into account technical, marketing and legal issues, and could even involve royalty payments for languages not being used on all kindles if they go with a multi-language device (depending on how they pay their translators).
