-## Individual localized packages
-
-Currently, the imports from the main package have a [bug](https://github.com/faker-js/faker/issues/1791) and always cause the entire Faker lib to be imported.
-This might result in loading around 5 MB of data into memory and slow down startup times.
-
-_But we got your back!_  
-When encountering such a problem in a test or production environment, you can use the individual localized packages.
-
-```ts
-import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker/locale/de';
-```
-
-This will then just load the German locales with additional English locales as fallback. The fallback is required due to not all locales containing data for all features. If you encounter a missing locale entry in your selected language, feel free to open a Pull Request fixing that issue.

-::: info Info
-The English locales are around 600 KB in size.  
-All locales together are around 5 MB in size.

-::: tip Note
-Some locales have limited coverage and rely more heavily on the English locale as the source for features they currently do not have.
-However, in most cases, using a specific locale will be beneficial in the long term as specifying a locale reduces the time necessary for startup, which has a compounding effect on testing frameworks that reload the imports every execution.

 ## Locale codes
 
 Locales are named in a systematic way. The first two characters are a lowercase language code following the [ISO 639-1 standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for example `ar` for Arabic or `en` for English.

+### Fix Tree Shaking
+
+Prior to this version, users had to resort to workarounds by importing specific faker instances from dedicated paths to overcome tree shaking issues.
+
+```ts
+import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker/locale/de';
+```
+
+With the implementation of this fix, such workarounds should no longer be necessary.
+That means that you should be able to import different localized faker instances from the root of your package.
+
+```ts
+import { fakerDE, fakerES, fakerFR } from '@faker-js/faker';
+```
+
+The dedicated import paths will still stay for now, to allow a gradual migration for our users.
+
+While the implementation of this change does not constitute as breaking according to semantic versioning guidelines, it does impact the behavior of users bundlers.
