Stated reasons include: s= ize of install, increased number of locales to pick from, complexity on the user side for selecting those locales (Chris Leonard's "maximum parsimony" theory ;-)). Instead the generally accepted idea is that you should mix-and-match = the LC_* variables as needed, with the knowledge that this is not the most flex= ible way to solve this problem. Individual distributions are free to include whatever en_* locales they wish to build to suit their users. Likewise, use= rs can do the same thing. Therefore until there is consensus formed around this issue I'm marking this bug as RESOLVED/WONTFIX. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
