It's impossible to have apolitical locales. We don't have one for Palestine as far as I can see, and our data clearly takes sides in the disputes about Macedonia and Taiwan (which is probably unavoidable one way or the other). The lack of a way to encode royal and noble ranks in names could be considered a political statement as well. We should move this to libc-alpha if there is anything more to discuss, but it seems unlikely we will reach agreement, so there is probably no point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
