short day translations vs cldr entries

should glibc localedata conform entirely to what is in cldr ?
some examples of why i ask this:

German languages in glibc use:
  Son;Mon;Die;Mit;Don;Fre;Sam
but the CLDR uses:
  So;Mo;Di;Mi;Do;Fr;Sa

Spanish languages in glibc use:
  dom;lun;mar;mié;jue;vie;sáb
but the CLDR uses:
  dom.;lun.;mar.;mié.;jue.;vie.;sáb.
this can be seen in a bunch of languages too like French

these aren't just in the day/format/abbreviated section where
having a trailing period makes sense -- the day/stand-alone/
abbreviated translations also have a trailing period.

attached is my full update for days/months to cldr.  i've compressed
it to avoid the spam filter on the mailing lists from rejecting it.
