No you could also use a different kernel image; build your own kernel; use a compressed filesystem, don't use a kernel at all and some container based approach instead of full virt for your cloud instances (you could even base them on a btrfs subvolume and save more space that way). Outside of the cloud use case the disk space added by modules and firmware does not matter a bit (so I am ignoring this cases). So there are lots of other ways to achieve what you want without splitting the kernel into hundreds of sub packages. So while it is a way it is not "the only way". -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
