No idea. Indeed, I think long-iso would be better default for this kind of technical dates which are shown in tabular form. With fi_FI.UTF-8 locale the output of "ls -l" is difficult to read because the width of the date column is not fixed. In practice TIME_STYLE=locale is not usable at all (with "ls -l"). $ LC_TIME=fi_FI.UTF-8 TIME_STYLE=locale /bin/ls -l / total 101 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 30.1. 21:55 bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 25.5. 20:33 boot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 16.8.2009 cdrom -> media/cdrom drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4200 30.5. 07:30 dev drwxr-xr-x 122 root root 12288 30.5. 09:52 etc drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 1.5. 22:13 home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 16.8.2009 initrd.img -> [...] drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 12288 23.1. 16:23 lib drwx------ 2 root root 16384 16.8.2009 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 30.5. 06:58 media drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 16.8.2009 mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 16.8.2009 opt dr-xr-xr-x 124 root root 0 30.5. 06:58 proc drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 9.5. 13:58 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 11.3. 20:16 sbin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 16.9.2008 selinux drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 16.8.2009 srv drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 0 30.5. 06:58 sys drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 16384 30.5. 10:37 tmp drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 16.8.2009 usr drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 16.8.2009 var lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 16.8.2009 vmlinuz -> [...] -- Feel free to Cc me your replies if you want to make sure I'll notice them.
