I can only talk about "de" (de_AT, de_DE, de_CH) where the differences
in written language are really small (eg, use of ß in .de but not
in .ch, as far as I know) and a separate tree is IMHO not necessary.

If you really feel the differences between pt_PT and pt_BR are big
enough then I think we will just have to do it.
What do Brazilians think about this?

Any comments from Spanish speakers whether something like this could be
necessary for them as well (es_ES, es_MX, es_AR,....) in the future?

What about French?
