This is called an objection, the strong form is called a sustained objection.

Only sustained objection would block consensus on accepting a patch.

about the changes causing confusion to our users, and I agree that could be
a problem, but being out of sync with CLDR is also a problem. Your objection
is recorded here.

Agreed.

Is there any way to get traction on this issue?

Ask the FSF to become a voting member for glibc at $18,000USD/year? :-)
