i have no problem dropping postal_fmt & country_post from all locales and telling people to use libaddressinput. after all, it's not like glibc has functions to format postal_fmt in the first place -- it's left up to the app to do the printf logic itself, and iirc, last time i searched, there was no one doing that.
GNOME uses it to determine the street/dwelling number ordering for formatting results from an Openstreetmap-related location service.
I posit that this is incorrect because it should use the locale of the location, and not the locale of the user. A German address needs to be formatted according to German conventions, even if the user is using an English locale.
So yes, this should not be a blocker for moving to libaddressinput. Thanks, Florian
