EOF of @euro locales -------------------- OVERVIEW Solaris contains @euro locale variants for 24 locales and the most of them were created for the transition period before the corresponding EU countries changed their official currency to euro. All countries, with four exceptions of Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, and U.K., now use euro as their official currency and the locale definitions are the same between the @euro and non-@euro locales. Another exception case is en_US.ISO8859-15@euro locale which we would like to keep. With this project, the project team would like to remove the @euro locales sans the noted exception case locales following the EOF process. DETAILS ON THE EOF Once approved by ARC and Solaris P-Team, we will do the EOF announcement at an S10 UR Release Notes and do the EOF execution at Navada/OpenSolaris. The EOF announcement will point out the @euro locales, with the exceptions of cs_CZ.UTF-8@euro, da_DK.ISO8859-15@euro, en_GB.ISO8859-15@euro, en_US.ISO8859-15@euro, sv_SE.ISO8859-15@euro, and sv_SE.UTF-8@euro are obsolete and users should select the non-variant locales.
