The locale name change from *.DIS_8859-15 to *.ISO8859-15 is very useful
for european people, especially for residents in the eurozone. It solves
some compatibility issues with XFree86, so permitting us typing and
displaying the euro currency symbol on X11 applications without fiddling
with the XFree86's locales (and remember that the euro became real for
300+ million european citizens on January 1st, 2002). Just one suggestion:
couldn't the new locale names go into RC1 and, if there are serious
issues, then back them out before RC2? (I am convinced that 4.5-RC2 will
exist ;-) ).
My 0,02 ¤,
^------ ISO 8859-15 euro currency symbol ;-)
