Comment 1 for bug 926207

The eight formats related LC_* variables above are currently written to /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment by language-selector, and to ~/.pam_environment by accountsservice. One question is whether it's appropriate to 'pollute' the environment with all of them.

In GNOME these environment variables are set via g-s-d:
  LC_TIME
  LC_NUMERIC
  LC_MONETARY
  LC_MEASUREMENT

This is the set of formats related variables that I personally find most important:
  LC_TIME
  LC_NUMERIC
  LC_PAPER

Or maybe it's unnecessary to exclude some of them, since the possibly redundant variables do no harm.
