Ehem. I talked about 5 MB for splitting the -devel package itself. Since when are db4-devel packages installed on live CDs, small flash disks etc.? And no, it's not the same. So please don't bring my argumentation out of context! Ville, I agree with you 5 MB are much for tiny mediums or embedded devices, but this is not related to -devel packages itself.
