No that's not best practice. You think only English should be indexed in Google?

The point as I understood it was that if en-US is indexed, it makes no sense to index en-GB too.
Not only does it make no sense, it hurts you from an SEO standpoint since the content is probably identical.
that's why you use rel=canonical and rel=alternate. Read the google recommandations. Nowhere it is said to add noindex. Just the rels.
