I don't think either 14094 (character map, LC_CTYPE) or 14095 (collation) 
has anything to do with transliteration, and I wasn't aware of our 
transliteration data coming from any upstream source for which there would 
be merge issues for local changes.

Of course for both those bugs we do need to understand exactly how the 
present files in glibc relate to an old version of the upstream data, in 
order to make a correct merge, but I hope that in most cases, especially 
for 14094, if we use the latest upstream data correctly we will be able to 
satisfy ourselves that, if local changes made different choices from 
upstream, there's no real advantage to the local version over the upstream 
one.
