Right. Whatever the correct solution is should be applied across the 
repository instead of complete inconsistency. Openoffice.org with 
multiple language packs, KDE with a single language pack and Firefox 
with everything in the same package. Firefox having everything in the 
same package is a common user complaint in fedora-list and forums 
especially since it bloats the package to over double the usual size and 
the extensions are visible in the user interface.
