- During an upgrade from f23, one should not lose the locales, all
  locales should be installed by default (glibc-all-langpacks should
  get installed by default)
- glibc-all-langpacks should contain /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive,
  therefore, when using a locale only that archive file should be opened
  (fewer stats, slightly faster then using locales from folders).
- after upgrading it should be possible to install any one of the
  individual langpacks like glibc-langpack-en (or even
  glibc-minimal-langpack) and then remove glibc-all-langpacks to get
  only a small list of locales and save disk
  space. glibc-minimal-langpack is just a dummy package fulfilling the
  requirement to have the meta package "glib-langpack" installed but
  it contains no locales at all, so only C/POSIX locales are left when
  only glibc-minimal-langpack is installed.
- "dnf install langpacks-<language code>" (e.g. "dnf  install langpacks-de")
  should automatically install the suitable glibc-langpack-??.
  I.e. "dnf install langpacks-de" should also install glibc-langpack-de,
  "dnf install langpacks-zh_TW" should also install glibc-langpack-zh.

Maybe it is enough to add the glibc locale sub-packaging as
another thing to test to the regular i18n test day?
