-----------------------------+---------------------------
 Now that #12967 is fixed, we should decide on how we want to make use of a
 multi-lingual Tor Browser. For the hardened series we just ship one build
 with all locales. We could do that for the alpha and the release series as
 well but maybe there is a smarter way to strike the balance between
 usability (downloading just the localized bundle I want) and resource
 scarcity (hosting all the localized bundles on our infrastructure).

 Mike had the idea a while ago to ship the most important bundles localized
 while putting all the other locales in a generic bundle (see:
 http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-dev/2015/tor-dev.2015-08-10-18.01.log.txt).
 I think I like that idea. Is that still something we want?
