I meant, how about extending SendEnv to support something like

	SendEnv !LANG !LC_*

to explicitly forbid sending variables with a matching name to
the peer? This could help to override the settings in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

Another option to add could be to disable sending variables completely
(except for TERM).

AFAICT it is pretty uncommon, that the default configuration for some
user application (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) cannot be overridden in the user's
config file. What would you suggest to get out of this mess? Ditch all
Linux distros with a broken ssh_config file, plus MacOS? alias ssh=\
"ssh -F /dev/null" ?
