tl;dr, locale fallback is very, very complicated. I have a plan for how to solve the size and speed issues. It's something we can improve incrementally.

It's the same in the sense that these problems can be solved by making DataExporter smarter. We can either pre-populate locales or strip them if they have duplicates. Note that...

Back on my computer so I can write a more complete response… > The current fallback mechanism is quite costly in binary size and data payload to support. It has...

Another point on this topic. I think there have traditionally been two ways of looking at locales in software, and ICU4X adds a third: 1. Ship all available locales all...

Yeah, the empty pointers are a significant source of data size and especially lookup speed issues in certain keys including number format and date format. This is a known issue...

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm thinking from the angle that the bug in datagen, the one where empty locale pointers are unnecessarily generated, which I've known...
