I install a generic minimal system via kickstart (booted using the
Server PXE images and using the Everything repositories) and then after
the reboot, ansible runs (via ansible-pull) and installs whatever is
needed for the type of system it's configured to be.

It would really surprise me if a kickstart file with nothing listed
under %packages installed a Korean input method.

No spins are involved; just a plain kickstart file pointed at the full
repository.

Yes, though it's simpler to me to just pull the dependencies out of the
langpacks specfile as I'm doing now.  Unfortunately that means I have to
periodically recheck if, for example, the recommended font set for
Gujarati happens to change in the future.  It's not an undue burden but
it was nice to be able to rely on installing @gujarati-support as was
the case pre-F30.

Well, as I wrote previously, it's things like the Libreoffice help files
and the Tesseract recognition data which get pulled in via Supplements:.
These can be quite large.  And some of the size difference is certainly
unrelated to this issue.  (I was installing a total of twelve
langpacks but I should probably be installing even more.)
