Of course these currencies are obsolete, but applications may want
to define pre-Euro locales for whatever reason.
When UTF-8 becomes the standard, will current legacy encodings be
dropped because they are obsolete?  I hope they won't.

BTW I read your postings to libc-alpha in September about LC_MONETARY
bugs, have your patches been applied into 2.3.2?
  es_EC:  ECS -> USD
  ar_SD:  SDP -> SDD
  sr_YU:  YUN -> YUM
If not, could you please perform such changes in Debian glibc?

Denis
