Debian is staffed by volunteers who do this because they want to.
I, for one, appreciate very, very much what they do for me.

well, ok, that would work, but the point is that locale is bloated
and most people use just a few parts of it, parts that could be
achieved by other ways.
Locales have two big advantages: they exist and they are quite

If a multi-billion dollar company whose employees have all learned
