As I wrote in my first reply, I'm OK to have some aliases which are
really major and widely used, for compatibility with other Operating
systems, although I think having multiple names with one concept
is a way backward.

But supporting every variants in Linux locale names sounds too much
for me. Why do we have to add complexity to support the feature which
must not be used?
