That's an interesting thing to hear---if this effort eventually
relieves me from having to supply preformatted manpages and HTML
docs (after all, en/C is just one more locale from your point of
view, right?), that would be an excellent news for me ;-)

The last-mile packagers that are directly facing end-users would be
happy to have a place (or two) that they can pull the pre-built docs
for these locales from, and they would not particularly care where
exactly those places are, I think.
