This is actually a tricky equation, because the reason to care about
size is actually *the same*: making Fedora 'welcoming'. Not everyone
has a big fat broadband pipe and a huge transfer cap (or unlimited
transfers). So if we include lots of i18n support we're making Fedora
'more welcoming' in one way, but *less* welcoming in another way, to a
different (but probably overlapping) set of folks. It's a tricky
conundrum.
