Re: [PATCH] [BZ 14510] Fix LC_NUMERIC for various es_* locales

How does that matter? We can create as many locales as we wish, some with strict settings, others with settings selected from community voted values; letting the user select at install time which locales they wish to use.

The notion that we must have one and only one es_MX seems like an
auto-proposition. If we need to have only one es_MX because of
standards constraints then we can provide some GNU knob that says how
conforming you want the locale to behave and have the implementation
select a different file based on that.

Does that make sense?
It makes sense. I hadn't really thought about creating multiple locales for varying levels of strictness or introducing a strictness knob.
