There's a lot more thinking required before considering adding new APIs 
like this. It requires thinking about new developers writing toy 
programs that could easily be confused by two methods that appear to do 
the same thing. Also needs taking a broader view on how it works with 
other locale sensitive APIs.

In your list, auditing the usages in the JDK to identify usages where it 
should be using Locale.ROOT instead of Locale.getDefault would be helpful.
