I suppose it depends on what you mean by "the locale system" --
obviously the _mechanism_ use by the traditional locale system, with
environment variables etc, doesn't fit Emacs very well; Emacs needs
things to be more dynamic and flexible.
However it might be nice to have more coordination between the two, for
emacs-external program interfaces. [There is already some, e.g.,
starting Emacs with LANG set usually does the right thing; I don't know
how pervasive this is, though...]
