It's often not installed, and it lacks standardization. And no,
locales are not small and easy but quite heavy instead – the
`/usr/lib/locale` directory on my openSUSE GNU/Linux box provides 494
locales and has a whopping size of 227MByte, mainly for collation and
character type information. Normally, you won't get a single locale
as a separate package, which forces you to install all of them.
