As far as I'm aware there has been no discussion whatsoever about
removing either F-Spot or Mono in Barcelona. There is also no
blueprint nor other discussion. This is the first time it's suggested,
if I'm correct.

Including the documentation would indeed be impossible to do for all
languages. This is also not what I had in mind. I think Ubuntu should
try to include as many interface translations as possible to fulfil
the promise the many languages you can choose from during the boot.
Currently a lot of those choices don't have a lot of effect on the
language of the interface.

Kinde regards,
