hi,

I object to this change.  Or actually to way how it's done.  Since
you have removed locale.deprecated stuff then users who upgrading from
4.x or previous 5.x will be left with old (deprecated) locales available.
Since you also removed compat code from libc people will stick with
correct locales available, but those will not be understanding by libc
locale stuff (nl_langinfo(), etc).  It will lead to many potential
problems to those who still using old locales.

I'd suggest to resurrect locale.deprecated and allow it to remove
all deprecated locales while upgrade process.  In this case people
will be forced to change environment to new locale names or use correct
C (POSIX) locale.  Remembering that we still -CURRENT -- this change
is appropriate and note in UPDATING and HEADSUP to -current and
-ports would be enough to warn people.
