Act as a bridge for users, collaborate with upstream (considering that we are a active part of upstream in this case) and figure out a good solution that does not bloat the package and have other effects like more resource use or slower speed of startup.If you want to solve the package size issue, switch to presto; this would save the download size much more than splitting off packages for language packs would.
I am using it already. Presto only would save sizes on updates. Not the initial download size or other issues. The bigger problem though is that Fedora does not have a consistent and documented approach to deal with language packs throughout the distribution.
