I was not referring to the bugreport, but this specific message, in
particular:
  Not filling in the am/pm strings is a mean to say that the

  as to use the am/pm format anymore.  This definitely is the
  case for the UK.

Some people argued that 12 hour format with am/pm is the most popular in
Australia.
