[SOLVED]Pacman locale whitelist

Hi all.

This may sound like a stupid idea.
How about implementing a locale whitelist and installing locale files only for generated locales?
I don't wanna keep purging locale files forever. How about not installing them in the first place?
Now I don't know how packaging works. If it doesn't sound plausible then feel free to ignore this request.
So what do you guys think?

You can use the NoExtract directive in pacman.conf to achieve exactly this.

man pacman.conf
