In addition, it's quite clumsy to navigate a list of dozens of countries
(same for each option under "Detailed Settings") without knowing what
you'll get until you try one.

"KLocale is also still there, in the kde4support library, but it’s
deprecated, and included as a porting aid and compatibility layer."

Then why not use it until this functionality is provided in Qt?

"QLocale, as opposed to the deprecated KLocale doesn’t allow to set
specific properties for outside users. This is, in my opinion, a valid
choice"

Respectfully disagree.
