According to POSIX, [a-z] is undefined in locales other than C or
POSIX. This isn't a recent change. POSIX pretty much says that you
need to use [[:lower:]] instead.
I don't doubt that a lot of code doesn't follow these rules, and
saying that it is broken according to POSIX doesn't help users who run
into issues. But on the glibc side, I don't see anyone else arguing
that this needs to be fixed in glibc.
