*Personally* I think having such choice is not really necessary. It's an
artefact from times when disks were at least one order of magnitude smaller.

There are no such optional sub-features in the Mac install, and nobody
is complaining.

We should make things simpler and easier and remove pointless dimensions
from the choice space.
One special case for the multi-locale Windows installation set is choosing just a subset of the locales, of course.
But apart from that, I guess the ability for choice here brings much more trouble than it is worth.
