Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 -- JFactory::getConfig

[sid]

While working on a project, I noticed "language" variable is defaulted to "en-GB" in config.php (libraries/joomla/config.php).
However the variable is never shown in configuration.php. Is there any reason for this? All the config variables should also be available in configuration.php and after the installation we should just load configuration.php and never use config.php file.
Can some one shed some light on this?

Thanks

You set the default language in the language manager.

Well, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out where Joomla store the language variable...
The variable is stored at the table jos_component (row Language Manager, usually id 23) on params

Ideally this should have been available in configuration.php as well.
The Language Manager actually pushes this variable to the configuration. The config.php should only be used during installation and not after that.
However - I think, the getConfig Code does indicate that it is reading from config.php if the file is null.

The code logic should be
1. Check if configuration.php exists, if yes - read it from there or read it from config.php.
2. I can open this as a bug in 1.6 and fix it.
3. With 1.5 - not sure when it would be released next.
