As reasons for bug 15963, those 14 languages have been behind the
macro-language "zh" for a long time. Technically zh_TW and cmn_TW are the same,
but for fairness, IMHO, the locale zh_TW should be deprecated and replaced with
cmn_TW and other chinese locales.
Personally I would like to differentiate cmn from zh with this radical patch,
which may be followed by similar patches against nan_TW, hak_TW, lzh_TW and
yue_HK.
