That would break things for anyone depending on "ja_JP" meaning "eucJP" in X. And CygwinX's locale system has been around for years rather than weeks. Furthermore, there'll be plenty of other programs and people that expect "ja_JP" to mean "eucJP", since that's what they get on Linux and elsewhere. Cygwin's primary aim is Linux compatibility, and Windows interoperability is well-served with "ja_JP.SJIS".
