You're correct that I hope to bake the list of aliases into the libc since we don't expect that the list will change in the future. (The chance of it being updated significantly would be very slim.) Considering that, I really don't think that we need to have the list externalize for future extension at this point. That's also the reason why the locale_alias(5) man page is at section 5 not section 4 since the man page is to merely give appropriate information to users and be the source reference for the changes at other man pages.
