Hola,
Just wondering: is there a good reason that we ship all the locale data in glibc-locale on all systems, instead of shipping the files in bundle-lang-common-* (so that people only have what they need)?
(I know there are other files in glibc-locale, I'm just talking about /usr/lib/locale and /usr/share/locale)
Thanks,
Vincent

/usr/share/locale should be easy to split, the files there don't seem to be that huge though.
To split /usr/lib/locale you would need to take a bit more care, and so far noone did. bundle-lang* is designed to be installed in parallel with the real thing, for glibc-locale you would need a real split I think.
Feature#303360 (which predates openfate) was never looked at. I think, splitting glibc-locale into 3-5 chunks would already save a lot if you can find good chunks :)
