(1) You add 14505 to the bugs in NEWS and that's wrong.
Done.
(3) Fixup ChangeLog date and please checkin.
Perhaps. But I can also see the case where this might conflict based on personal experience/preferences. Plus glibc is used by government entities and they're a lot more likely to demand the locale data match the government mandates.The truth is that I'm skeptical of glibc's current policy about requiring normative references for changing the locale data. How does that better serve our users? I'm of the mind that we should be doing bulk imports from CLDR and directing users to interact with the Unicode community upstream. At the end of the day when you click on the "I live here" button or setup the "I'm from here" config option you should get formatting that is familiar to you and makes your interaction with the system easier, and that might not be what your government mandates.
