Hi,

I cannot seem to remember why we dropped he/iw lookup in ResourceBundle. 
The design notes 
(http://sites.google.com/site/openjdklocale/design-notes/resource-bundle-lookup-order) 
just mentions:

Note: Special Case 1 is removed. If someone really need resources to be 
tagged by he/yi/id, he/she should use ResourceBundle.Control to control 
the behavior.

What was the reason we dropped this? It seems to me it is asking too 
much for applications to provide a custom ResourceBundle.Control for the 
legit ISO639 language codes.
