[Bug localedata/14641] LC_NAME: deprecate locale category


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14641

--- Comment #39 from Mike Frysinger <vapier at gentoo dot org> ---
(In reply to keld@keldix.com from comment #38)

the standard itself already admits defeat:
   The specification below should be regarded as a starting point for this
problem.

i doubt people writing booking systems are relying on the locale data provided
by glibc.  instead they're using databases they found online or are provided by
another company.

i don't think this level of detail is appropriate anymore in any standards body
or C library.  these processes are glacial at best.  having focused libs that
are actively developed/updated is the common process nowadays.  the CLDR as an
example does two full releases a year (with point fixes and betas on top of
that).  by comparison, ISO 3122 has like one release every 5+ years ?
