I'm assuming your argument is that you don't want to ship RPMs or repositories where part of them grows to be 25x larger. But this need not be the case. Observe that the packages already contain the data (in the libraries and binaries themselves). It may need to be indexed for faster lookups, but that indexing only applies to the "provides" side, ie. libraries. Library symbols are highly regular (eg. containing large common prefixes) so the size of the index won't be as large as the 25x current size.
