Well we have argued about this before, but my take now is that we should 
have Lang Support group parity across Live and standard installs: so 
either we don't install all the language support groups for Live or we 
should for standard installs, and then take comps from there.

Personally I would tend towards not installing all language groups for 
Live and installing some Input Methods by default to compensate, which 
would leave Live in a similar state to what it is now, but would drop 
various fonts that are only installed by default for language support 
groups.
