I'm not sure if I understand what you are criticizing: the langpacks split, or my proposal, or what. Anyway, the langpacks split was made with full awareness of %_install_langs, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Glibc_locale_subpackaging. [...] > Result is obvious: number of *langpack* packages is growing. I don't think this is a big problem. The number of languages that can be supported can't go much higher (in principle there's maybe ~2000 languages alive nowadays, but most of them are dying quickly, and are unlikely to ever get glibc locale support). The 192 langpacks we have now is nothing compared to the texlive package list.
