This includes all available packages, but if you look at the
actual usage on an average system, i.e. only static packages that

package managers perceive a potential need for static linking; for
instance I see many scientific libraries (HDF, CDF, scalapack,
FFTW), and in that case there is a residual speed effect and the
statically linked applications have a (perhaps no longer deserved)
reputation for being more easily distributable. I checked on my F25 where I pretty much install everything I might ever need (6400 packages), and there are just 2 static packages:
I think you'd have to explicitly load most of them to get up to
