Why is it so hard to configure a Linux system (its locale settings) to get RFC 3339 formatted dates everywhere? Sure, I can `ls -l --time-style=full-iso`, `git log --date=iso`, `date --iso-8601=s`, `date --rfc-3339=s` and change the configuration of every single application by hand. Am I missing something?
Often, people recommend the hackish `LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8`. This however, doesn't work for Java applications and caused various other issues.
