locale.5: remove the FIXME for timezone
PATCH 1/1 locale.5: remove the FIXME for timezone
Hi Michael,
the timezone of LC_TIME is not in POSIX, only 6 (out of ~300) glibc locales define it, the glibc code comment below from glibc.git/programs/ld-time.c seems to suggest it's not a good idea, and there's been a proposal in upstream [1] to remove the existing timezone definitions from glibc locales so I think it's actually better to leave this one undocumented:
/* XXX We don't perform any tests on the timezone value since this is
simply useless, stupid $&$!@... */
1) https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00098.html
Move the remaining LC_COLLATE FIXMEs together while at it.
