Not quite, but almost.  The fr_FR listing in SUPPORTED should not be
used, as it uses the ISO-8859-1 charset.  But it can not be replaced
with an entry using ISO-8859-15 because this would generate
incompatibilty problems on existing installations previously using the
old fr_FR and suddenly using the new fr_FR.  This is why the new
fr_FR@euro locale name was made.

So, yes, fr_FR should be removed, and stay gone for a few years,
before it is possible to consider bringing it back to as a locale
without ISO-8859-1 charset.

Backward compatibility.
