LibreOffice uses CLDR to the same extent (or more) as OpenOffice.org
did. Just that it is not listed there (care to change that? ;-)  In fact
OOo contributed its locale data to the CLDR back when CLDR was created.
However, CLDR does not provide all locale data LibreOffice needs, or
differently, and is not a global cure for all locale problems.

See my reply there, for me as a developer adding language entries it
would be at least more difficult.
