en-GB is the language code for British English , as defined by ISO standards (see ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) and Internet standards (see IETF language tag).
I think the original reporter is more complaining that "en" is called generic english instead of US english with code en-US (which our translation for "en" essentially is).
As an aside, there was a thread on commons recently about something related - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#View_Wikimedia_Commons_in_British_English
Changing component to i18n. Not quite right, but this really isn't a user pref issue.
