Subject: Locale Launcher [PSARC/2007/564 FastTrack timeout

4. Technical Description
...
The proposed locale launcher (/usr/bin/localelnchr) is such an
application which will allow the users to launch legacy locale
applications from a UTF-8 locale.
Why "localelnchr" as opposed to "localelauncher"? If the reason was
only to conform to the recommendation to limit utility name lengths,
then I think you should reconsider. I don't believe that squashing out
three vowels for the sake of conformity justifies the reduced clarity.
(Please note that the recommendation on name lengths is just that -- a
recommendation -- not a hard and fast limit.)
