Eeew. So you are basically saying that glibc isn't supposed to maintain
the locale data?  That sucks.  People of a given country don't want to
have to contact _all_ distributions to get a patch in.

Really, either apply the patch, or make the localedata part external so
people can handle it.

I've applied the first patch.

But I don't understand all the fuzz.  The locale is still completely unusable
because it doesn't use the shared collation rules.  This means it's completely
unusable in situation where encodings other than the locally used one are used.
