1. Background for "tactis":

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/4fd73f0465ba11c22f0986d04cf91b387ed22c47

    # The codecs for these encodings are not distributed with the
    # Python core, but are included here for reference, since the
    # locale module relies on having these aliases available.

This codec was available as separate package at the time. Later the CJK codecs got added to the stdlib, but this codec was not.

I guess it's fine to remove the alias.

2. If the mappings are identical, just leaving one and making the other an alias is fine. Same for aliases of those mapping names.

3. I think we had already resolved this some time ago.
