Doc Text:
The GNU C Library now provides correct Japanese era name formatting for the REIWA era starting May 1st, 2019. The time handling API data has been updated including the data used by strftime and strptime. All APIs will correctly print the REIWA era including when strftime is used along with one of the era conversion specifiers e.g. %EC, %EY, or %Ey.

Comment 1 Carlos O'Donell 2018-03-14 21:25:13 UTC 
The Japanese era name will be changed on May 1, 2019. According to the Japanese government, they are considering preliminary announcement around the spring/summer of 2018.

The glibc ja_JP locale must be updated to include the new era name for strptime/strftime support.
Comment 2 Christian Horn 2019-03-08 09:07:06 UTC 
Is there anything preventing dev_ack here?
It is clear that the information
- which kanji
- and which name
will become the new era name have to be known.  dev_ack has been set for the 
rhel7 and rhel8 glibc bz, and would express that we think we can fix this bz.
Our partners are also asking for z-stream errata.  With the dev_ack, we can 
approach PM and ask for chances for the z-stream fixes.
