Yes, but you don't need *all* of the locales to get the system to boot,
just the one that the system admin uses, that could be cached/copied
somewhere in the RFS. This is similar to which modules the kernel needs
to be able to access the RFS - the cache in this case is the initrd.
Maybe something like that needs to be done for things like locales that
are needed before /usr is mounted.
