I'm not saying OO.o is any *less* broken.

You're a user who just installed firefox, or openoffice. Why
would it make sense for you to go back into the package manager
and select something else (not in the group with the package you
just installed) just so your new app is localised in the same
manner that your desktop already is, rather than having it just
work for you?

If you really want to perpetuate this mess, first write the
yum plugin that automatically applies langsupport conditionals
on package installs if a particular langsupport group is already
installed.

It adds effort where there currently is no effort, for negligible
benefit.

I fail to see where I did that.
