It might be a little late for v19, but not for v20.
I agree that it might be good to have some mention of this
in the documentation, but I am not sure what would be a good
place. On the one hand, this could be somewhere under
"Localization", but I guess that nobody would look for it there.
A good place could be a chapter in "Server Setup and Operation",
and my personal recommendation is to create clusters with the
C locale.
If you want to get that moving, how about proposing a patch?
Yours,
