Speaking of useless large package updates, why does redhat bundle

users to eat useless large updates"?
Avoiding special hooks in the installer and in post-install package
tools. Consider "Add Languages" functionality.
For extra repositories this is also an issue, but a less important one
currently as one can obsolete i18n packages in an update any time.
