Confirmed. "Minguo" calendar is widely used in offical and educational
occasions.

> Some background information: The government website (www.gov.tw) uses it,
> popular public services like Taiwan HSR also uses this calendar system.
In most current cases two calendars coexist, but shifting to Gregorian calendar
is the trend.

According to Chinese National Standard "CNS 7648", Gregorian calendar is the
main calendar while "Minguo" calendar as secondary representation.

Referring to reporter's blog:
https://blog.felixc.at/2018/11/add-minguo-calendar-support-as-glibc-localedata-era/
Three extra lines could be proposed(untested):

era "+:2:1913//01//01:+*:<U6C11><U570B>:%EC%Ey<U5E74>";/
    "+:1:1912//01//01:1912//12//31:<U6C11><U570B>:%EC<U5143><U5E74>";/
    "+:1:1911//12//31:-*:<U6C11><U570B><U524D>:%EC%Ey<U5E74>"
