It's silly to reject a patch which fixes a bug which prevents +any+
use of these locales, and anyhow, I don't see how political reality
would be very important in this case, as having obsolete information
is hardly worse than not having any information at all.
In any event, if localedef uses ISO 4217 as the reference for checking
the validity of the compiled locale, having the data conform to ISO
4217 certainly +seems+ like the right thing to do (and when the Serbs
etc decide to have ISO 4217 updated with their new currency, it should
obviously be a simple matter to update +both+ the actual locale data
files and iso-4217.def so that they remain in agreement).
For what it's worth, I have submitted patches to the apparent ultimate
upstream:
* ar_SD - <http://www.jtcsv.com/cgibin/icu-bugs?findid=2763>
* sr_YU - <http://www.jtcsv.com/cgibin/icu-bugs?findid=2764>
