by their terms, they are a collection of I18N and environment
settings.
My question was more meant in a sense "are those files still necessary"? :) I expect they were created to deal with some problems with locale setting, but from just looking into them it's hard for me to guess what the initial purpose of them were... :)

Are you asking if /bin/sh, and /bin/tcsh are still installed
or used? I certainly install ande use each
Let me rephrase - if those files are gone completely, will it break anything? Isn't the functionality of those scripts obsolete nowadays?
> Should they be installed by default these days?
One assumes the files could be moved out to 'bash' and 'tcsh'
packagings, if the (unstated) goal is to eliminate
'initscripts' as a standalone package
I'd like to remove them completely if possible, but I don't want to break anything for our users. That's why I would like to know the initial purpose of those files, and if they are still really needed nowadays... :)
