[wildfly-dev] Trimming console size

[Heiko Braun]

Your proposal to reduce the permutations for WF makes sense. Especially the reduction to just EN.However for EAP it's a different story. I can dig up a product reference describing the requirements wrt to browser support. OOTH i think it's the last two major versions. But a s Heiko R, said: For admins within restricted IT environments we often see people using old versions. 

But that doesn't prevent us from optimising the WF distribution. So you get my +1
