There's a modest amount of low-hanging fruit if people really cared
about image size.  For example, here's a way to shrink the
(uncompressed) live filesystem by 30M:

I do find the concern for difficult install scenarios to be noble, but I
would tend to class that as a different problem from producing a useful
live image that also happens to be installable.  But clearly the
objection here is about "doing more work" more than "changing the image
size".
