This case has been discussed during this year's Flock. Indeed,
glibc-all-langpacks was introduced for backward compatibility when upgrading
the Fedora systems predating langpacks. But it is considered a bug that
glibc-all-langpacks is installed by default. The intention of splitting
langpacks was to have only selected locales installed rather than all.

Sure, this may need a separate discussion.
