This is fairly easy to do yourself. Just loop mount the partition from the image and reduce the size. I have mine down to under 3GB,

Could you possibly reduce the size of the / partition so that the total image is a bit smaller?

Your image requires a 3.95GB mSD card.  7919615 512 byte sectors to be exact (or at least with the server image).

I have LOTS of 4GB in the 3.8GB size.  For example the one I had with my traveling last week is 7774208 512 byte sectors.

It is not like you have filled the / partition; there is unused space.  It would make your claim that a 4GB mSD card can be used for the image install more likely to be true.

Or just state that better use work with a 8GB mSD card to avoid possible overwrite errors.

My 2c worth.

Oh, and interesting that F24 fdisk reports the xfs partition as swap?
