Like you say, under development, probably there's just something overlooked that could be removed from one or the other or moved to an nfs-common package. That might make a case for splitting up client and server sides for minimal installs that need only one or the other. If it's installed size we're working on, though, do we have some target in mind here, though? Do we know what the container people are aiming for? I had some idea glic is more in the 10s of megabytes, and a minimal Fedora install is in the 100s, so I just wonder if it's worth chasing after 10s-100s of K. --b.
