Well, I don't think we are obliged to cater for locales that break ASCII
ordering.
The logical conclusion of that position is that there's no need to make
the regression tests pass in any other locale than C. Which is not the
project policy, and we (including you, with your buildfarm hat on) have
expended plenty of sweat in support of that.
I thought that was more about things like letters with diacritical
marks, Turkish i and so on. But I stand corrected.
I think the real question that needs to be asked here is why there's not
a buildfarm member running the tests in Czech locale. And maybe some
of the other ones that have been problematic in the past. We should not
have to wait for random reports to find out about this.
Maybe we need a few members that test a large number of locales. (Anyone
feel like donating resources? I'm currently providing resources for
seven, which I think is sufficient :-) )
Or a few volunteers from among existing members that can test lots of
locales. (My f14 box has 245 utf8 locales, 181 non-utf8 locales and 308
that don't specify an encoding.
Or I could make the client get a list of available locales/encodings and
then test a number of them each run cyclically.
