No, with the approach I was thinking (not exactly suggesting), we'd
want to create a separate entry for media support this particular set
of languages. I know that still means a lot of entries but at least we
won't have to change mechanics of libosinfo for it.

BTW if XML files getting too big is also an issue here, we can split
those easily in different ways.
