[...] The problem, however, is
projects depending on a country being available. Python's `locale`
library behaves weirdly with Esperanto, and all sorts of downstream
packages need to specially account for Esperanto because it's the odd
one out---usually resulting in it being ignored entirely, because to be
frank, Esperanto isn't the most common language. And that's totally
understandable.
This sounds like a bug in a Python's "locale" library. Probably it is
easy to fix but I don't volunteer to do it at the moment.
[...] Esperanto needs a "country" so that it's
not constantly broken downstream:
- Create "eo_NL" in the spirit of "ia_FR": Just pick a country (or a
lot
of countries) and implement it.
- Create "eo_XX" or "eo_EO" with a fake "Esperantujo"
country and
currency.
- Create "eo_XX" or "eo_EO" that is identical to the current
"eo"
without actually adding any country information.
- Any combination of the above.
As much as possible I'd like to retain "eo" without a country. I hope
it is possible to fix it as it is.

I would've also proposed a fix if I knew how to find the problem. But
if you can find it, you have my thanks.
It seems that the fix has just been pushed.
I think I should also answer to your question from the previous email:

Unfortunately, from the big distributions, only Debian (and its
derivatives) have Esperanto available as a choice out of the box. I
want to make sure that Fedora also gets that option.
Could someone give me a few steps in the right direction to get that
ball rolling? [...]
It is kinda ambiguous what it means that Fedora supports Esperanto
(or any other language) because it may mean that the language is:
* supported by glibc (now done),
* available in Zanata (done),
* available as a choice in Anaconda,
* available as a choice in system-config-language.
There may be other meanings but the list could be very long and
eventually we would conclude that no language (except English) is perfectly
supported by Fedora. :)
As a pattern you could review the issue tickets to add Filipino language
in Fedora:
