The package set here seems almost reasonable (although removing
SELinux is kind of a no no); it has its warts, but it's part of being
"Fedora-y")

Yeah, this should definitely be split out.

And I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this has no place in
any general purpose image.  With AOS where you're going for the
absolute smallest size that you can get, meh, I guess.  More general
purpose, the locale support keeps us from making the system
inaccessible to other parts of the world.
