See what damage "Mini"DebugInfo is doing? Nobody (other than me) cared about
CD size for the live CDs, but surely DVD size for the install DVD matters!

It's time to revert "Mini"DebugInfo which isn't actually Mini at all! (It
increases compressed size, i.e. the live image size and the size of the RPMs
on the DVD, by over 10%! The smaller installed percentages the feature
advertises are only achieved through compression, which obviously doesn't
help after compression, if it was even implemented at all.)

Stop the creeping biggerism!

Reverting mini-debuginfo would require a mass-rebuild which is hardly going to happen at this point of F18 no matter what you think of the feature.

For starters it would help if the DVD didn't contain piles of obsoleted, conflicting and in some cases (at least samba), duplicate versions of packages:
