Firefox langpacks, which have been bundled in the Fedora firefox base package until now, will be moved to a firefox-langpacks subpackage.
Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended. The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
I'm rather meh on this Change. It seems like reshuffling stuff into two packages when most people (except exclusive en_US locale users) will still need to install both?

Just a couple of comments:
first, firefox-langpacks will continue to be installed by default
I believe a significant number of Fedora users use an English locale: they will now have the option of removing firefox-langpacks if they do not require any translations or other localization: this could also be used for some minimal installs or spins perhaps.
I think this is fine. It would be much better if the subpackages could be broken down further by language, although I understand from the devel list discussion that this seems to be challenging for Firefox in particular.

I agree with what @music said. This is an incremental improvement, worthwhile on its own.
After a week, the vote is (+2,1,-0). Will wait for additional votes
Nice idea!
APPROVED (+5,1,-0)
