No to się zapytałem, ponizej jest log z irca. Narazie przypomina to 
walkę z wiatrakami. Nie wiem teraz czy robić dalej patche na resztę 
programów :
[aflinta at warp aflinta]$ locate sr at Latn |grep usr |wc -l
      26
to ok 24 patchy, czy też męczyć to na liście gnome (której) czy 
faktycznie glibc powinno zmienić konwencję?

[10:51] < aflinta> Why in gnome locales we have sr at Latn?
[10:52] < aflinta> There is no sr at Latn in glibc locales
[10:52] < mitr> aflinta: Because in Serbian, both latin and cyrrilic is 
used, and this is the best known way to represent the difference.
[10:52] < aflinta> In glibc sr is for serbian (latin) and sr at cyrillic 
for cyrillic
[10:52] < aflinta> mitr: ok, but thi is incompatuible with glibc
[10:53] < mitr> aflinta: not really, you can use sr at cyrillic for one 
and sr at Latn for the other.
[10:54] < aflinta> mitr: but in glibc sr at Latn will be ignored and used 
then C will be used instead, cause sr at Latn is unknown
[10:55] < mitr> aflinta: When faced with aa_bb at cc, programs are 
supposed to try aa_bb at cc, aa_bb, aa, in that order
[10:56] < mitr> aflinta: see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2003-May/msg00116.html and 
following
[11:01] < aflinta> mitr: ok, but when sr in glibc is in latin, sr in 
gnome is cyrillic
[11:01] < mitr> aflinta: Cyrillic is the official script
[11:02] < aflinta> mitr: in my opinion the better way is to rename (in 
gnome) sr -> sr at cyrillic and sr at Latn -> sr
[11:02] < aflinta> mitr: and then will be full compatybuility with glibc
[11:03] < mitr> aflinta: IMHO glibc should be changed, but I've got 
nothing to do with Serbian l10n. I'm sure they will have to solved it 
somehow though.
[11:04] < aflinta> mitr: in one I agree, gnome schema of naming locales 
is better than this in glibc, but I don't think that glibc will change 
this
[11:05] < mitr> aflinta: There don't seem to bee any Serbian 
translation on the TP, KDE translation is reportedly also not much, so 
these may very well be first efforts to solve this problem.
[11:06] < aflinta> mitr: I know that there are no translations, but 
"order must be" as germans says ;)
[11:07] < mitr> aflinta: that's why it should be fixed.
[11:07] < mitr> (glibc should be fixed)
[11:07] < aflinta> mitr: :))
