Red Hat's installer does the same thing, installing locale support for
only those languages selected at install time.
However, for reasons I can't explain, as soon as you start applying
updates, rpm installs all locale packages. It's a configurable option,
but I'd bet most people never even notice. The default value is "all".
If you're tight for disk space, the extra 60M of glibc's locale data can
be an issue.
You can verify this on your machine like so:
$ rpm --showrc | grep lang
- -14: _install_langs all
