Subject: Removing the locale warning?
Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2019 16:44:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mubuyks9.fsf@inria.fr> (raw)

Hello!
What about getting rid of the locale warning, as shown below?
More generally, I'm in favor of reducing run-time warnings to a bare
minimum, because application users often don’t care about them (plus
they’re not i18n’d), and because application developers cannot silence
them or handle them in a way that is more suitable for the application.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
