The Minimization Objective[1] has been going on for a while. There are two high-level goals: making things smaller, and keeping things smaller. On the keeping smaller side, the team prototyped a service called Feedback Pipeline [2] that monitors use cases for their installation size and dependencies, including a size history. This will help us see bigger changes in size for things the community cares about [3].
I already got some feedback from a few individuals I asked while developing it, but I feel it's in a good enough state for a more broad feedback. So I have a few questions:
1/ We plan to send weekly size updates to the devel list. Would that be useful? What should they include?
2/ Regarding the use cases [4], especially the container ones, could people please review and give feedback to those? Are all the packages there actually required? I'm specifically looking at the "nss_wrapper" package that drags in Perl and cmake which makes it huge.
3/ Are there any other use cases we should track? I'm sure there are!
4/ And a more general one: is there something you're working on that's related Minimization? Please let me know.
Cheers,
Adam
PS: The service is a prototype, so please excuse if there are some rough edges — like the history graph showing multiple values of the same color. If you happen to be interested to contribute, I'd be glad to accept issues (or even PRs!) in the repo [5].

[3] Things the community cares about: There is an initial list [4] of use cases defined by the Minimization Team, and we're now looking for feedback and suggestions for new ones.
