Okay, that's what I thought. Should we hope the locale-archive thing
happens in F22 and just punt this?

I don't really think it ever was exciting enough to be a feature.
That's hardly anything less exciting than talking about i18n/l10n to
me. ;)

I wonder whether we should apply the hack (the one Dan mentioned in
rhbz#156477) in %post, though. Seriously, who needs locales other than
en in the cloud? Please feel free shitstorm me if I'm mistaken here,
so I get the message. English isn't my native language, yet all my
things (desktops, devices) talk English to me (or Japanese, if they
don't have a switch *sigh*)...so I might not exactly be the right
person to make any call here.

If we do use --instLangs, possibly do that hack and do the
--excludedocs from the other ticket - why not make a more generic
"smaller cloud image footprint" change instead? We could add
"cloud-init doesn't require cheetah", "NM replaced by
systemd-networkd", etc. to that, too. And make a link to the
kernel-split change.
