You still want a sane fallback for all the categories that you are not explicitly setting. It's harder to type: LANG=C LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 env -u LC_ALL foo than it is to type LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 foo where we know that LANG=C is already set and LC_ALL is already out-of-the-way. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
