--- Comment #196 from Aaron Wolf <wolft...@gmail.com> ---
If this were fixed, it would also likely make it easier to resolve

Hesitant to just add another +1, but this issue is *so* awkward. The simple
capacity to override default formats with simple standard format codes ought to
be trivial for anyone. I just want the logical ISO date format YYYY-MM-DD while
keeping other U.S. norms, including 12-hour time (and no, 12-hour is not just
some weird American thing, it's how all analog clocks work). I figured out that
en_CA for Time works enough, but the extra dots in A.M. and P.M. are silly and
take too much extra space. At least that workaround is possible, but this is
not how it should be functioning.

People lamenting a *regression* where things were fine and then a new design
broke things is not the same as people demanding that free/libre/open software
just magically have all the features they wish. And what bug-reporters want is
mostly to have the bugs acknowledged completely. There's nothing about Open
Source development that makes it any harder to simply say "yes, this is indeed
a bad bug". Admitting that it's bad is not the same as a commitment to fix it
promptly. There's no room for any comment that tries to be dismissive about the
facts of the bug or downplay that it's bad.
