Title:
  Time to drop 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf?

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  With the transition to Noto Sans CJK as default font for Chinese, we
  have established a fontconfig configuration for rendering Chinese
  under an *English* locale via these three files:

  /etc/fonts/conf.avail/64-language-selector-prefer.conf

  /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-arphic-ukai.conf

  /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-arphic-uming.conf

  (I questioned the need for the two latter in bug #1560548, but I think
  we'd better consider the need for the 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf
  files first.)

  So, if I have understood the feedback from Chinese users correctly,
  both Chinese and Japanese are properly rendered under an English
  locale in Ubuntu 16.04.

  It's my belief that what's happening if you switch to a Chinese locale
  is that one of the 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf files is enabled,
  and Japanese is no longer properly rendered while there is no
  improvement in rendering Chinese.

  If I'm right, I think we should drop 69-language-selector-zh-??.conf.
  Did I miss anything?
