formatting in glibc, that means upstream. These changes are already
arriving to Fedora Rawhide (they should be there tomorrow) and will
be part of Fedora 28. They will be included in glibc 2.27 (to be
released on February 1), or in pre-release upstream version
2.26.9000-1145 (in Fedora Rawhide: 2.26.9000-48).
Note that this is an ongoing effort. Some Romance languages will
eventually use this to correct the incorrect spelling of “de April” into
“d'April”. Once this happens, it will be necessary to change
translation strings for these languages from “de %B” to “%B”, otherwise,
the result will “de d'April”.
(Yes, the meaning of %B changed in a backwards-incompatible way, and
glibc upstream deliberately implemented it this way.)
Thanks,
