--- Comment #214 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Again, please see
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Understand_what_the_resolution_statuses_mean.

In this context, "RESOLVED UPSTREAM" does not mean, "it's already fixed
upstream." It means "It's upstream's job to fix." This is technical
terminology;  please don't read the word "RESOLVED" and interpret that to mean
"it's already fixed for me personally." That's not what it means. If that's
confusing to you, I understand, but re-read
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Understand_what_the_resolution_statuses_mean
and try to understand that this is a technical context where words sometimes
mean something different from their plain English meaning.

As I said, if we do our own thing to fix it for only KDE apps, or only for Qt
apps, we make apps' presentation of formats inconsistent across the OS. This
would work, but it's not a good solution, especially today given how people use
apps form diverse sources. We can't just say, "we'll fix this for KDE or Qt
apps and screw everyone else." That's not fair for the user. The user deserves
a proper fix that doesn't make anything worse for their 3rd-party apps. That's
why it needs to be fixed by overhauling how POSIX locales work.
