Yes quite a bit has happened on the base image since F29, we have
removed quite a few things and trimmed down the latest rawhide to
208MB. I am sure that can still be improved and I welcome any help on

I've regenerated it for f30 and f31: https://asamalik.fedorapeople.org/container-randomness/report.html

I see the fedora:f31 image is 195 MB, woot!
