At the moment we use invalid BCP-47 Language Tag for the macos variant of ja-JP locale.
It causes minor papercuts when interacting with a valid BCP-47 system, and we keep Firefox Platform as such.
It would be nice to clean this wrinkle.

We have a lot of in-tree places to fix: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=ja-JP-mac&path=
We have references in braindump, shipit, gecko-strings, gecko-strings-quarantine, balrog. This may not be an exhaustive list.
We will likely need to somehow provide updates for existing ja-JP-mac installs to update to ja-JP-macos; this will likely be a balrog watershed.
A number of these services are for all branches, while an in-tree patch will only land on Central; we'll either need to uplift to all release branches quickly and then update the services, or we'll have to figure out a way to support both ja-JP-mac and ja-JP-macos concurrently until all release trains have updated. We'll still need to support ja-JP-mac in Balrog for existing installs of older Firefoxes.
Not a trivial request by any means, but doable. We can weigh benefits vs costs.
