 For FreeBSD, I think one of the reasons why the i18n effort stopped is
 a conflict of opinions between the existing locale implementation and
 the new one.  The current FreeBSD locale implementation works in
 its way, and Citrus locale is too different from it (in implementation).
 I like Citrus implementation because it does not depend on the specific
 character set, but it still has pros and cons (performance, implementation
 complexity, and so on) and not always better than the existing one.
