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

I've seen mass rebuilds rushed through in less time than what we have from now until the current F18 release target date. And it's the most effective
way to hit the target size of the DVD.

I really don't understand the cavalier approach to bloat around here. A feature which increases the size of the whole distro should NOT be approved, period. We need to get the live images back to CD size and treat every feature which endangers that as a showstopper. Hardware resources are not
infinite, we cannot afford wasting them in this way.

FWIW, I also think we need to reopen the discussion of building Fedora with
-Os rather than -O2.

Size matters,

+1, although I really think the relevant size targets are 700 MB for
CD and 4 GB for DVD / USB stick. You need the 700 MB for machines that
can't boot a USB stick or DVD. Personally, I think OpenOffice /
LibreOffice shouldn't be on live media. You can make a really nice
GNOME or KDE Live CD if you free up the humongous amount of space that
so-called productivity suite occupies. ;-)

They already aren't. Half the point of going to 1GB would be to include them.

Look, Johann already pointed out, the relevant SIG for each spin owns the spin size. It's not a topic for devel@ kibbitzing and voting. I can't stop you posting +1s, but you're wasting your time if you're not a member of the relevant spin SIG. As seems to need pointing out so often, this isn't a democracy, it's a do-ocracy. You don't get anything done by posting indignant messages on mailing lists.
