In just one year — 82% more awesome?
I'd really like this to stay below 200MB as a competitive threshold.
Or, if we're going to be bigger than that, be bigger for REASONS, not
just accretion.
tl;dr: grub2 is a lot to blame, but there seem to be some new
questionable dep chains from systemd, and general dep growth across the
board.
Disk use at first boot:

Okay, let's look on disk:
[f21]$ sudo du -sh * 2>/dev/null|sort -h
[...]
36K home
40K root
228K run
21M boot
22M etc
34M var
276M usr
[f23b]$ sudo du -sh * 2>/dev/null|sort -h
[...]
40K root
264K run
16M etc
45M boot # ugh
171M var # oww
463M usr # oww oww oww
Breakdown:
- boot is mostly grub, but initramfs is also doubled
- var: DNF cache is full of stuff! 123M... oh, hey, that wasn't
there when we booted. `df -h /` is now up to 702M. Maybe multiple
repos would help here, or some other more clever design. Does
every cloud image in the world _really_ need to replicate
dependency data so I can `dnf install
/usr/share/minetest/builtin/mainmenu/init_simple.lua`?
- usr:
* linux-firmware is the biggest thing here
* python3 is another good chunk
* also kernel modules, but, eh, whatchagonnado
* oh, and of course, grub2.
