Vlad,

Thank you very much for the locale contribution.

Please review our contribution checklist:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist

Please note that you do _not_ need copyright assignment to contribute locales,
however the patch will have to be sent to libc-alpha@sourceware.org for
eventual review.

(a) Use of 'mo' versus 'ro' for locale langauge tag.

Please be aware that as of 2008 the 'mo' tag has been deprecated in favour of
using the 'ro' tag. Therefore for a new locale we should probably be using
'ro_MD@cyrillic' for the Moldovan language using Cyrillic script.

(b) LC_IDENTIFICATION category should always be "i18n:2012" since it must
specify a published standard of i18n.

(c) Is the mon_thousands_sep and thousands_sep  intended to be a non-breaking
space instead of a period as is used in original Romanian?

(d) Please fill in more of the LC_ADDRESS entries as provided by other locales
e.g. lang_*.

(e) Please test installing and using your locale. Existing checks for invalid
LC_IDENTIFICATION categories should have rejected your locale IIRC. Please
confirm you have tested compiling and using your locale e.g.
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Locales#Testing_Locales

Thank you.

Let me be clear that the tag deprecation is at the ISO 639-1 level.

(a) Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet is different from the Romanian Cyrillic.
Romanian Cyrillic alphabet is not used anymore and contained a number of
letters such as Izhitsa, Fita and little Yus not found in Moldovan Cyrillic. So
i think it's incorrect to use 'ro' tag, if it's possible we should use 'mo'
tag.

(b) Fixed

(c) Fixed

(d) Filled

(e) Tested, looks like everything's ok.

Thank You.

If Romanian Cyrillic alphabet is not used anymore, then it should be fine to
use ro_MD@cyrillic because then there is no conflict.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes#ro

“the identifiers mo and mol for Moldavian are deprecated. They will not be
assigned to different items, and recordings using these identifiers will not be
invalid.”
