Proposing to deprecate the constructors in the `java.util.Locale` class. There is already a factory method and a builder to return singletons, so there is no need to have constructors anymore unless one purposefully wants to create `ill-formed` Locale objects, which is discouraged. We cannot terminally deprecate those constructors for the compatibility to serialized objects created with older JDKs. Please see the draft CSR for more detail.
