Adding SJIS locale doesn't mean directly that you need accept and fix
all SJIS among applications. There should be what our developers should
and what they should not. Just rejecting SJIS locales will get rid of
any chances. Don't skew open source freedom by just your unwillingness.

Stop messing around.
Linux is just the best implemented the incomplete international
standards, ignoring many imoportant domestic issues.
There are many UNIXs with much better Japanese support than Linux.
Even there were versions of Japanese by Japanese for Japanese.
Why can you glibc is enough and ready for real Japanese already?

When migrating from other unices to Linux, SJIS is the biggest problem.
Wnen migrating from Windows to Linux, SJIS is the biggest problem.

Your opinion is like that of who are enjoying to wath other people's
fatal suffers through TV, sitting in the comfortable, safty rooms
in a far distance.

Sorry, just learned from your mails before.
I don't bow to the dictator.
