he's not saying that locale should not be availble to those who need it, he's saying that for those of us who _don't_ need it, there should be a way to avoid the space and processing overhead.
today that's _very_ hard to do (you may be able to do it on a gentoo system, I'm not sure)

Debian's localpurge packages works for me on the few machines were I care about saving a few hundred meg on disk space (which is pretty much ONE.. my EEPC with 4GB of disk space)
And locales do matter in desktop situations. How else is suppose to know which dictionaries I want to use or other things of that nature?
