+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1010454 +++

During the kernel install the 'LANG=<LOCALE>' directive is copied from the '/etc/locale.conf' and appended to the kernel parameters line in the bootloader configuration file.
As far as I'm concerned this is redundant, cause the 'systemd-localed.service' is the one responsible for the system locale settings, already.

e.g.
/etc/locale.conf:
LANG=en_US.utf8

/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
…
append … LANG=en_US.utf8
…

No news here either.
Good luck.

Should not Anaconda write locale.LANG (as it already does with vconsole.font and vconsole.keymap) to the bootloader configuration and your patch be applied? Or perhaps /etc/{vconsole.conf,locale.conf} and /etc/sysconfig/{keyboard,i18n} import section be removed entirely?

I configure boot options in /etc/default/grub. Get *new* ones from new-kernel-pkg is unexpected.

/etc/sysconfig/i18n and /etc/sysconfig/keyboard are both dead now. Thus SYSFONT, SYSFONTACM, UNIMAP, KEYTABLE, are gone too. LANG by luck is still used in /etc/locale.conf, but I am not sure it serves any purpose anymore considering dracut already put /etc/{vconsole.conf,locale.conf} in the initramfs.

BTW, since F20 Anaconda does not write vconsole.keymap anymore, see bug 1035316 .
