Hmm. I don't want a backout.
I think the best way is "Don't do backout. Solve problems before
4.5-RELEASE". Problem list is:
o tcsh
There already exists a patch. Issei-san <issei@FreeBSD.org>
posted the patch to i18n ML (and other MLs) about 7 months ago.
o ports
I think we can fix many (not all) of the ports which do not
support *.euc* locale.
I don't know the exact schedule of ports tree freeze. So,
please tell us the deadline for ports fix. > portsmgr@ or re@

Right. We can use this option.
