If adding the text as shown below, it does not affect to maintain era
data, so there may be no problem. It is available in *_TW as well.
The rest of the information is independent of the specific locale data
and it is appropriate to include it in a separate document.
Please be aware that we will be in the process of adding entry for the
new Japanese era to ja_JP locale data for several days from now.
