I want to say is:
Russian FreeBSD users had a very long time to change their locale
name setting (from ru_SU.* to ru_RU.*). Both locale name (ru_SU.*
and ru_RU.*) co-exist in FreeBSD 4.*-RELEASE.
Japanese (and Korean and Chinese) FreeBSD users also want enough
time to change locale name setting. Immediate transition (for
example, from ja_JP.EUC to ja_JP.eucJP) is not fair.

Probably, you misunderstand my mail. "old and new local" I said is
"locale name". It is possible to support both old (ja_JP.EUC,
ko_KO.EUC, ...) and new (ja_JP.eucJP, ko_KO.eucKO, ...) locale name.
I propose the following plan:
--------
old locale name : ja_JP.EUC, ko_KO.EUC, zh_CN.EUC, zh_TW.Big5
new locale name : ja_JP.eucJP, ko_KO.eucKO, zh_CN.eucCN, zh_TW.BIG5
Plan for 5-current (5-stable after 5.0-RELEASE) branch:
support both old locale name and new locale name
Plan for future 6-current branch:
delete old locale name. only support new locale name.
