Description (last modified by )
Encode-Locale is used in LWP, the others were added for Biber. Testing on an empty system with only the perl-5.24.0 core, using cpan, has shown they are not required and all the tests pass without them - also Biber-2.6's own tests and my own limited latex tests.
So, remove Encode-JIS2K and Encode-JISX0213.
Unfortunately, the extra deps for biber-2.6 will add several times that number of new modules.

If it is ok with ken, I'll try create a patch for this one once my patch for VTE gets approved.

Replying to Samuel:

Please don't. It's a very minor part of the whole (biber-2.6 and related changes), I'll do it along with removing the commented modules WHEN I have got to the end of listing the module dependencies (I've checked the deps for 88 modules so far, still another 8 to go plus anything else those pull in).
I was mistaken - Encode-EUCJPASCII, Encode-HanExtra and Encode-JIS2K are still deps of biber, but unlike many perl modules it manages to build without them and complete its tests.
Encode-JISX0213 is an optional dep for MIME-Charset, it can be safely removed (it deals with some sort of 7-bit encoding).
Encode-ISO2022 is a dep of Encode-JISX0213 so it too can safely go.
