Comment 10 for bug 1682305

I am all for this change in general, minimal images are great and there are many cases where locales aren't needed... However, I don't believe it's reasonable to introduce this in the middle of a release cycle.

Essentially you're causing thousands of hours of debugging for users of your images, at a time where we just don't expect breakages and therefore aren't looking for upstream caused breakages. I would suggest saving these breaking changes for new releases or alternatively releasing these minimisation improvements into a special "unstable/minimal" package.

If you continually make these kinds of changes, you'll severely reduce the value of the images.
