Thank you for explaining. Yes, I have an objection.

More or less, that's true.

I did not know it was a problem. We were talking many times about the automatic
scripts to feed data from CLDR but we don't have any. Therefore I thought it
is good to follow CLDR but not a big problem if we don't follow CLDR for some
good reasons.
Of course, I don't express any objection against following CLDR.
