I have no recollections about this file and I can't even deduce now why you
think it was me that added it (not that this in any way means that I did not).

I can't see what it's possibly buying us.  It's certainly easy to
regenerate the file in the future if we find a reason to want it.

Has anyone asked on the libc-locales@sourceware.org list?
I'm not on that list, and have no idea if there is any activity there.


Thanks,
Roland
