and yes, keyboard layouts should be configurable. but locales not so
much.
The wrong time zone leads to bad file metadata. When you do automated
processing with, say, Make and have created files with a future data,
stuff will not work amicably.
Why do you think this would be affected by the unix locale?
Also when you change timezones, only the display changes, not the
timestamp of files on disk. I never had issues with gnu/make using the
localtime, it uses stat, unix-time (UTC).
Anyway, for locales and keyboard-layout just read the manual, page 45:
