It looks like this approach paid off, there's been a recent update on
the CLDR ticket that gives an impression that it might be best to keep
using NNBSP in glibc as CLDR is perhaps a little closer adapting NNBSP
as well:

https://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/11217

So I think we should not apply this patch for 2.29. We should still
recheck the CLDR status around this at some later point for a possible
final decision and in case it would be (perhaps slightly unanticipated)
to stick with NBSP then we'd need to reconsider this for glibc as well.

Thanks,
