Reducing the change of people using the locale without the ISO-8859-15
charset. Some systems use the content of the SUPPORTED file to
present the user with the list of supported locales. If the et_EE
locale was only listed with ISO-8859-15 as the charset, they would
have to select the one standarized in Estonia.
Existing installations on the other hand would still be using their
existing et_EE locale as before.
