That isn't correct, the UK is not a Euro currency country and in fact the @euro variant is likely needed in the UK more than other countries because some people trade in both Sterling and Euro. > Therefore, the @euro locales are no longer needed and with this project, > we would like to remove them through the EOF process. I'm happy for all but en_GB at euro to be removed. I can't say wither the Czech Republic one would be useful or not but I know the en_GB at euro is, in theory useful (I can't though say if anyone actually uses it). > /usr/lib/locale/en_GB.ISO8859-15 at euro Obsolete Commited (1) GB (including Northern Ireland) is not a Euro currency country. We haven't even got a single physical currency instantiation within the UK yet (Scotland has 3 sets of bank notes, Northern Ireland has a set and there is the "official" Bank of England set). > /usr/lib/locale/en_IE.ISO8859-15 at euro Obsolete Commited (1) IE (aka Eire, aka Ireland (not to be confused with Northern Ireland)) is a Euro currency country. -- Darren J Moffat
