It just gets _very_ huge if you have a bigger number of localizations.
Lightning or DOMI could be sooo much smaller in download if they would 
not need to do that.

And actually, I don't want to take the penalty of shipping every 
available localizations to all users of SeaMonkey 2, as we already have 
enough people complaining about the size of SeaMonkey 1.1.x as-is.
My primary concern is still the suite, but I think it would be good to 
be using more or less the same solution for both the in-suite extensions 
and the separate XPIs.

Perhaps we can find a solution of installing both an extension and its 
fitting language pack at once through AMO - I think that would be the 
nicest solution.
