This part of conversation probably belongs on the user list rather than
devel. But there are some development-related aspects (see rest of thread)
and while we're at it, I have some constructive practical points as well.

Also do 

localedef --delete-from-archive $(localedef --list-archive | grep -v -i ^$LANG | xargs)

mv /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive  /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive.tmpl

build-locale-archive

It actually _is_ automatically rotated. See /etc/systemd/journald.conf and
`man journald.conf`. Particularly, look at SystemMaxUse, SystemKeepFree, and
MaxRetentionSec.
