Are you trying to actually justify this? I was just asking, I couldn't understand why anyone would do such a thing. = =20 Now that it's been explained, I can see where it might be useful to someone= =20 like yourself. =20 > Regardless of that I object to having my cvs mirror bloated by 130 MB > because of this.. this was NOT a canidate for repo copy. > they should have been individually been added corectly in the first place. > and they should probably have been under a subdirectory at that.. They were split to save the people who need to install them (often on worse= =20 bandwidth than even you have currently available) the requirement to downlo= ad=20 the entire i18n tarball in order to just install one, when they are provide= d=20 as separate distfiles anyway. Very few people speak, for some random=20 examples, Swedish, Brazilian-Portuguese, Romanian, and Xhosa. In any case, the old packing lists have been stripped in CVS, and so now=20 everyone should be reasonably happy, I think.
