See, this is a bit hard to buy. This particular ticket was opened when KF5 was
barely 1 year old, and roughly at version 5.7.0 (and KDE4 was still at 4.14.7
"only"!!) , but the issue can well have been discussed before that.
Either way, lots of things have been added to the KF5 frameworks since then and
have been picked up by applications built on those frameworks. I find it hard
to believe that it would have been difficult to refactor KLocale and incite KDE
Application devs to use this.

What I *can* imagine is that KLocale was always a shambles of a card house that
could benefit from a more thorough low-level overhaul involving whatever
underlying libraries are involved. But that didn't have to be (shouldn't have
been IMHO) a reason to drop KLocale and adopt a functionally limited solution.
