The word "trashing" is maybe a bit strong in my opinion. Dictionaries
are built in e.g. in Windows builds, and some Linux distros are also
packaging them. I think general Linux builds should include the
dictionaries and distro specific builds should exclude them and should
ship current system wide dictionary packages at the same time.
