The locale-relatet environment describes seting of the client terminal.
It is very useful thet the server side uses the same environment for
the terminal communication.

That patch seems completely unrelated, it is something to do with
passing locale-related environment variables.

Not all platforms support these environment variables, some may not be
entirely safe to pass. Worse, as far as I know, there is no
standardisation in locale names between operating systems.

The SSH protocol doesn't really have a locale negotiation mechanism (it
does have a "language" negotiation, but it is unclear how that should
be interpreted). If you want to add locale-passing to SSH, I think it
would be best to take it up on the IETF secsh working group mailing
list, but naively passing environment variables is not sufficient.
