Hi Xavier,

welcome here! :)

Well, I saw this question coming. What we currently have around is this 
preview remix for F10. We didn't include all the locals, since they 
don't just fit all on a CD.

So we're currently just having English and Sinhala language support 
around. Why the latter one? Because Danishka from our SIG will be 
running a user group test and needed therefore those packages. We just 
didn't want to create to almost equal images.

I'm not sure, what the future will bring: I'd still like to get all the 
locales on the spin, but this would maybe go beyond the scope. We should 
probably figure out something concerning this topic, also because 
language support might be quite important in educational questions.

For now, the plan was just to have English locales on the CD and to 
allow and guide people to create language-specific respins, but I'll 
double-check the size of the locals. It's justthat we normally need to 
include either all or none of the locals.

Thanks!
