That's what I'd like to avoid for precise at least (i. e. the bit
whether numeric should be tied to the language or the region; it is tied
to the region right now, so let's not rip this apart at this point in
the release cycle).
The net effect should be the same, the change is just which half of the
LC_* categories we define to differ from LANG in case the user-selected
language doesn't match the language of the LANG locale. Right now we
change the "language" part, and with the proposed change we'd change the
"region" part.
I might misunderstand what you are saying, of course, but I don't see
the semantics change?
