That's the model that makes the most sense to me -- ie, CLDR as a strong 
supporting argument for a change.  Ideally we'd get to a point where any 
differences between glibc and CLDR are minimal and documented.

The concern expressed to me (privately) is the two locale databases have 
significantly different formats for their data, thus consolidating down 
to a single database may require a nontrivial amount of work (assuming 
we could get to the point where everyone agreed on all the underlying data).
