I wouldn't object it if there is a way to disable locale support.  We
in Japan are always troubled by borken Japanese locales on some
systems.  I'm afraid to hear more complains if there is no way to
disable the locale support.  Moreover, collation of locales for
Japanese are broken on all platforms as far as I know. I'm not sure
about other Asian languages though.
