Re: [PATCH] localedata: CLDRv29: update LC_TIME week/first_week,workday fields

[Chris Leonard <cjlhomeaddress at gmail dot com>]

I can't pretend that I have gone through the details or done any of my
own due diligence, but I am inclined to endorse as a good-faith
effort.  I must admit it feels like a scary large (cross-cutting)
patch and on a field that frequently draws complaints, but I don't
think that an incremental approach would serve any purpose in this
case, so perhaps it is best to just rip off the band-aid all-at-once
and see what happens to people's calendar programs out there.  It
could either cause a big sigh of relief or absolute mayhem for end
users, but I think it is going to be fairly visible, so we should hear
back one way or the other.
