I haven't looked yet but I suspect it'll probably be a wash, mostly. If
anything it's likely slightly negative because the new installer itself
hard requires webkitgtk, so we can't really do anything to finesse that
requirement any more. With the old installer, we could maybe try and
figure out some way of being able to show the help pages without
needing yelp/webkitgtk. Since the new installer itself needs webkitgtk,
seems like there's no way we're getting rid of that ~40M compressed.
You should also try to do this - remove webkitgtk and yelp packages and add firefox, because that's what the web based installer should/will use in the end - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2142779. We already had a meeting with Anaconda dev and told him to use Firefox instead of WebKitGTK for the web installer - due to resources that are internally (and frankly in upstream as well) allocated to WebKitGTK.
