Defining a minimum requirement (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE latest
versions, N-1, may be N-2) + English for WildFly sounds like a
reasonable approach to me. Separate downloads can be created if
additional browser support etc is required.
All the legacy browsers can still be supported in EAP OOTB.

Hey guys,
I was just discussing with Harald could get distro size down by 25+MB if we
would trim our console a bit.
Currently we compile console with 40 permutations, six browsers
(ie6,ie8,ie9,gecko1_8,safari) and eight languages
(en,de,es,fr,pt_BR,zh_Hans,ja,ko).
I think we could drop support for ie6 and get rid of extra localization with
support only EN.
IE6 market share is so low this days that it really does not make sense to
support it in upstream anymore.
Also we don't ship localization of logging messages/exceptions in WildFy
anyway, so why have just one part localized.
This way we would get down to 4 permutations and our console distro would be
6.8Mb instead of current 32,3Mb
Also if people want extra localization, they could always just download full
console release and replace that with jar we ship.
So what do you guys think?
