The git log doesn't seem to be that informative, either, since
apparently a whole bunch of changes were moved from locales to
iso14651_t1 in:

commit 5d2489928c0040d2a71dd0e63c801f2cf98e7efc

    [BZ #672]

    2005-01-16  Denis Barbier  <barbier@linuxfr.org>
        [BZ #672]
        * locales/ca_ES: Replace current collation rules by including
        iso14651_t1 and adding extra rules if needed.  There should be
        no noticeable changes in sorted text. only ligatures and
        ignoreable characters have modified weights.
        * locales/da_DK: Likewise.
        * locales/en_CA: Likewise.
        * locales/es_US: Likewise.
        * locales/fi_FI: Likewise.
        * locales/nb_NO: Likewise.

        [BZ #672]
        * locales/iso14651_t1: Simplified.  Extended.

as noted at https://stackoverflow.com/a/34079435/371250 in regards to
schwa in Cyrillic. From a quick skimming the schwa is correctly sorted
in patch 12 for Azeri, Kazakh, Tatar and Turkmen.
