I am typically installing 3 languages on my system and I am sure this represents a tiny fraction of the user base. North of 90% will never ever use more than one language. And they will know which one they need prior to downloading ;) Having a button in the distro to "add a language" is a useful feature anyway - it's a bit of a pain today if you want to add a language later and have to find out which packages to add. Same goes for removing. But I'm not aware of all implications of course ...
