Comment (by mcs):

 I assume the advantage of shipping packages for each locale is the smaller
 download size. But the impact of including many locales is not too high.
 Here is some data from some alpha builds I made yesterday:

 locale-specific package:
 63M tor-browser-linux64-5.5a3_ar.tar.xz
 76M tor-browser-linux64-5.5a3_ar.mar

 "ALL" package with 15 language packs:
 67M tor-browser-linux64-5.5a3_ALL.tar.xz
 82M tor-browser-linux64-5.5a3_ALL.mar

 The size increase over a locale-specific package is about 4MB for the
 .tar.gz files and about 6MB for the complete MAR files. That does not seem
 bad at all. Should we just switch to the "ALL" package? Or are we planning
 to increase the number of Firefox language packs we ship?

 We can greatly reduce the footprint on the web server and mirrors by
 producing multi-locale packages.
