I'm noy saying that at all.  I'm saying that I thought I was selecting a
language, not a complete set of locales.

It doesn't seem that hard.

Anaconda needs to ask what language I want to speak, and where I live.

If there is ambiguity about my locales based on this it should prompt
for some advanced option (that might be prompted for in firstboot, and
that can also be changed after the install) that clarify my locale
settings.
