[Bug localedata/1015] There is a need for an alternative belarusian locale

Yury Tarasievich says:

"I think, word "classic" here would be misleading. This qualifier of the 
aforementioned orthography is self-awarded and is inaccurate by any definition, 
as both qualifier and orthography aren't used or recognized as such by anybody 
excepting rather minor minority."

I wouldn't like to start the old discussion with Mr Tarasevich who has some 
unexplained repugnance for that other orthography and has been the only one to 
fight it vehemently in all relevant net discussions.

However, I want to draw your attention to an inaccuracy in his comment - upon 
which all his argumentation is built:

Those who follow that "other" orthography are in slight MAJORITY (not in minor 
minority) on the Net. You can easily prove it - just google any pair of words 
spelled differently in the two orthographies.
