Oh, you want to wrangle bugs too? How fast can you type "Please post
your `emerge --info' output too."? :)

We might as well skip the entire FEATURES=locale and simply detect the
actual locale instead. Not that I think this would help us, but adding
a FEATURE to discourage people from using that very same feature does
sound like a bad design to me.
In my opinion, what we should do instead is acknowledge the policy
that's been in place all along, that is to require build logs with
"universally" appreciated error messages, and reinforce that policy
using technical means, instead of having asking users nicely every
time for something they may not even be aware of.
