Why no locale (formats.py) for Australia en_AU or Canada en_CA?

https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/conf/locale

Does anyone have an idea as to why Australia doesn't have a locale format?  en_GB is there, but no en_CA, or en_AU.  My code is in seven countries and my forms are working in all of them except Australia and Canada.  It's looking for an en_AU format folder that doesn't exists and falling back to the defaults.  My users wonder why they can't enter dates in their native date format.

Translations are working for things that are different like US: 'zip code', CA: 'postal code', AU: 'postcode'

Same would apply to Canada en_CA. But they aren't complaining because their date format matches the default yyyy-mm-dd.

I'm going to go the route of making my own format file (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/formatting/#creating-custom-format-files), but just seems odd that this would be necessary for such well known countries.

Am I doing it wrong?
