wp core download crash when lastest WP version is not in the desired locale

Bug Report

wp core download --locale=xx_XX crash when lastest WP version is not in the desired locale

wp core download && wp language core install fr_FR --activate
is broken too (install ok but not the lang, switching to FR in admin break the website with sql errors)

Example

wp --allow-root core download --locale=fr_FR --force
crash with :
Error: The requested locale (fr_FR ) was not found.

Temp fix force previous version

wp --allow-root core download --locale=fr_FR --version=6.2.2 --force

Solution
allow this command to download the lastest version (6.2.2, instead of 6.3 in the example) to use the desired locale.
wp --allow-root core download --locale=fr_FR --force

or add a flag to allow downloading the previous working version.

Thanks for the report, @neoteknic !

This is a known issue that unfortunately occurs until the locale release is ready.

allow this command to download the lastest version (6.2.2, instead of 6.3 in the example) to use the desired locale. wp --allow-root core download --locale=fr_FR --force

or add a flag to allow downloading the previous working version.

I don't think we should automatically downgrade. Making it a specific opt-in behavior with a flag seems fine, though.
