Community,
I'm proposing we allow locales without country codes in order
to accept international languages without country codes as
valid locales e.g. eo.
The infrastructure in glibc appears to support locales without
country codes. We don't know what issues might crop up downstream.
We should just fix downstream as new locales without country codes
are created.
Does anyone object to this? Does anyone see any serious problems?
Cheers,
Carlos.
