I think the silence here underlines once again that we simply don't have enough "resources" in this area when a trivial change doesn't get a timely review even when the patch is straightforward. Meaning that if we want to keep the actual locale data in glibc in proper shape, using CLDR is the only realistic and sustainable way forward. Carlos and Florian exchanged few emails about CLDR/Unicode/glibc locale copyright status, was there still something to be clarified on that front? Mike's recent patch deprecated tel/fax fields in LC_IDENTIFICATION, are there anything else we should could / should deprecate or remove? (There's the PR https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14641 at least but it's still being discussed, not sure how to deal with that.) If/when those aspects are agreed upon, is there anything else or can we then start using Mike's script to sync from CLDR? Perhaps the situation with day abbreviations was left a bit open? Mike, do you have a gut feeling how complete coverage the current CLDR data provides per glibc locale, how many categories / keywords would still need to be maintained without input from CLDR? Oh, wrt the patch itself, LGTM. Thanks, -- Marko Myllynen
