Surely a symlink from mo to ro would be better so that people

I think this would create problems since packages would try to place
files in /ro and /mo at the same time.
ro isn't exactly new, mo was removed [0] for reasons. It seems it was
just an alias for Romanian [1] (although this is probably very short
sighted). The Romanian language is much more in use than Moldovan ever
is/was, so packages which would ship translations for mo would most
probably also have translations for ro.
So the symlink would probably not be useful.
