It looks like this approach paid off, there's been a recent update on the CLDR ticket that gives an impression that it might be best to keep using NNBSP in glibc as CLDR is perhaps a little closer adapting NNBSP as well: https://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/11217 So I think we should not apply this patch for 2.29. We should still recheck the CLDR status around this at some later point for a possible final decision and in case it would be (perhaps slightly unanticipated) to stick with NBSP then we'd need to reconsider this for glibc as well.
