I noticed in CollationTest.collatedSuite() we run

that really adds a lot of coverage or if it would be sufficient to run
them with just one of the
locales. Thoughts? It adds a fair amount of time to lang._Suite.
I agree that it seems a bit excessive. I think it would be enough to run
all the tests you list with the default (en_US ?) and "one other"
locale. The default, as it is the most common case and "one other" as it
represents the equivalence class of locale != default. I think testing
with more locales should be targeted at specific known problems or
challenges, like the test<locale>Collation() methods do.
