Problem Summary | en_BE and sh_YU should not be required. |
Problem Text | The en_BE and sh_YU are required by LSB Runtime Environment 1.3. These locales are not commonly used in industry. After the war, no one speaks Serbo-Croatian (sh_YU). sh is not even a valid iso 639 country code anymore. How is en_BE different than es_BE, fi_BE or en_AT? Furthermore, these locales do not ship by default in the GNU c library. Finally, I can find NO requirement in the spec regarding these locales (it therefore COULD be a TSD). Chapter 23. Localization ... Implementations shall support the POSIX and C locales as specified in the Single UNIX Specification. |

Review Resolution | Test Suite Deficiency (TSD) |
Review Conclusion | The LSB only specifies the C and POSIX locales. The OpenI18n specification contains a list, which may need adjusting. The Test suite shouldn't be testing for this. |
