Hi all,

i just stumbled over the following message on public-dev:

...
> ./de/de_CH.utf-8        = 593
> ./de/de_DE.utf-8        = 415
> ./el/el_GR.utf-8        = 2410
> ./en/en_GB.utf-8        = 3286
> ./fr/fr_FR.iso-8859-1   = 2090
> ./fr/fr_FR.utf-8        = 2041
> ./it/it_IT.utf-8        = 4330
> ./nl/nl_NL.iso-8859-1   = 931
> ./nl/nl_NL.utf-8        = 3803
> ./pl/pl_PL.iso-8859-2   = 605
> ./pl/pl_PL.utf-8        = 605
...

as swiss citicen i ask myself if it is worth maintaining a de_CH locale 
since it will be 99.9999% (if not 100%) the same as de_DE. Wouldn't it 
make sense to combine forces here (de_CH and de_DE) in case some one is 
actively maintaining de_CH.

Cheers,
