<i18n dev> Request for Review : JDK-8071929 -Locale.getISOCountries() has inconsistent behaviour for "AN", "BU" and "CS" country codes.

[Stephen Colebourne]

I'm concerned that this is not the friendliest of new APIs. There is
little description of the meaning of the ISO-3166 parts - what is
being added is directly exposing the underlying data rather than
providing any kind of abstraction.

There is also an inconsistency between "ISO" and "Iso" in the class/method names
