Sounds good to me. I don't mind losing some languages that aren't used very
often.
I suppose it would require those that want their language in there to make
some noise.

Can I get some idea of how people feel about me removing most of the locale
stuff from the iso_root ?
Because sorcery itself is in english, the installer is in english and the
installer guide is in english I can't see a good reason for having close 25
MB of locale data in the iso_root.
Once I have finished additions to the installer and the install.guide has
been
rewritten, I would like to have some people translate both into some of the
more common languages (french, german, insert-your lang-here, etc), and then

have a language selection menu during boot, so these locales wouldn't be
removed.
But I estimate it would save between 15 -20 MB.
