For 2.5 we are trying to complete our RTL support. One of the open issues
is what to do about the tutorial videos you see in both the
first-time-experience, and an upgrade. These are abstracted enough to be
locale-agnostic, but decidedly LTR. We would like to provide RTL versions,
but including both in the build would add 3-5MB.

The current compromise is to make the assets available in the repo for a
motivated partner to swap out in their build, but exclude them by default.
This would mean that a device configured for a primarily RTL market could
have a sane default. But a user choosing a different locale/direction in
the FTU would not see a corresponding change in the tutorial videos.

So I want to confirm the assumptions here. Does adding 3-5MB of video
assets really represent a problem? Life would be simpler if we could just
decide what to show at runtime based on the current document direction.
