I tend to agree, given the time we've invested in getting this
right.
The trickiest point is when we're modifying code that has to do
with generating graphs. We have to ensure that any code which
prints floating-point numbers for consumption by gnuplot uses '.'
as decimal character. We have the mechanism to do that, but it's
very easy to forget, I've done it several times myself. But
usually people notice quite quickly, and once noticed it's easy to
fix.
