So... about the system locales. I again looked into the "using precompiled system locale bundles" vs "compiling on the Kindle itself" thing.
Since compiling on the Kindle will need the sources and the charmap, I now have a
clear preference for using pre-compiled bundles, even if they require more one-time space in the repo.
The reason is simple: The charmap file itself is 2 MB, and compresses down to around 350kB. This means that the sources will actually be larger than the pre-packaged file, plus this way will require additional tasks on the device itself, plus the effort to produce the bundles is much higher as well. So I'll now modify the tool to work with pre-compiled bundles, and we'll see where we end up.
Concerning the discussions over branching/not branching etc. in the repo, I suggest to just leave it at the current state. Never touch a running system
