Please note that this step in implementing the feature will break deltarpms. Deltarpm requires the *full* data from the original rpm to be installed in order to build the updated rpm from the deltarpm, so the fact that we're only installing part of glibc-common will cause any deltarpms for glibc-common to fail. If I understand correctly though, the above is a stepping-stone to subpackages containing the languages, which will *not* break deltarpms. I do think the change is a great idea; I just want to make sure all involved are aware of this potential pitfall along the way.
