It seems like we haven't revisited the topic of overwriting ordinal terms
since we introduced the new ordinalization scheme. Since the list of terms
is now practically open-ended (the number of "ordinal(-\d\d)?" terms in any
given locale file can range from 1 to 101), it indeed makes a lot of sense
to just ditch all of them whenever a style redefines one or more of these
terms.
(note that this wouldn't be in agreement with the current spec language:
