Hi Guilliam,

Thank you for the reminder, we certainly forgot to resolve that issue.

After a quick investigation, it turned out that the %e and %E specifiers
are already
locale-insensitive, so we can leave them as-is.

Furthermore, the definition of the %G specifier according to the
documentation
is "Like the g specifier but uses E and F", which is not true, since %G is
always a
locale-dependent format, while %F is not.

That's why we think the way forward is to:
- fix the documentation independently of this RFC
- expose the %h and %H format specifiers which are "like the %g and %G
specifiers, but really use %e/%E and %f/%F respectively". Nikita is
currently
working on adding support for these, so it's also not a dependency of the
RFC.

That's why the vote is still scheduled for tomorrow.

Thanks,
M=C3=A1t=C3=A9

(P.S: I've just seen that Nikita already wrote a similar answer)
