Yes.
Don't want a repeat of MS SQL Server. I'm sure there are people who need to
format c:\, dir, etc using MS SQL. But most people don't need this stuff
installed by default.
It might not be so bad at the start if you install a language by default.
But if the language/features get extended you could end up with a lose-lose
situation.
