I do not know the reason why Ulrich Drepper choose to reject Lojban,
but he is one of the glibc commiters and maintainers, so you can
assume it is official.  I suspect it is because he do not see the need
for these languages, and thus not the need for the locales either.
And I also syspect he want to avoid increasing the maintainence cost
of the locales database by limiting it to real languages spoken in
real areas on earth.

Why do you need a locale for the artificial languages Esperanto and
Lojban?
