well, of course no, because they put all the wee beasties *in* glibc,
which i believe was also a bad choice.
over half of red hat's sales are non-u.s.? that doesn't bode well for
linux adoption here, unless people are using centos and fedora instead.
one distribution (to rule them all?) is fine ... just do a better option
at making all that international stuff easy to strip out ... and PLEASE
make Posix/C a locale choice too!
KTHXBYE,
loljim
p.s. another, non-obvious, but totally evil package is "specspo"
