Because it is supposed to replace the C locale, so to follow POSIX rules like the C locale. I am personally not convinced that we should go that way, but people who have pushed for this locale (some of them Cc:ed) have made clear in bugs #522776 and #609306 that it should handle collation like a C locale. Maybe they could follow-up this mail with their arguments. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
