All FreeBSD code I know never check locale this way. IMHO probability of potential danger to meet some linux-oriented port with this check is much much higher than to meet similar FreeBSD only code in the wild. In any case, changing collate order from A-Za-z to aA-zZ we do just now have much higher probability to break unknown FreeBSD only code, so one breaking change can go with other one together. -- http://ache.vniz.net/
