I have a couple of questions.

It says as advantage;
"CD/DVD can include only a couple of lang packs, so smaller size. Upon 
selection of the language, yum (or even the installer) can download the 
lang pack right away."

* A couple of lang packs, which lang packs to be included and why others 
not?
* In order to obtain language packs, do users need internet connection 
for downloading?

It says as possible drawback;
"Need to take extra care to avoid having a new langpack shipped to a 
user every day"

* What is specific solution implemented?
