(For the record, I just discovered that it is the same on RH 7.3) I will start to work on RH 8.0 package lists for the RULE project below soon. In this context, I'd like to know if people have already noticed other cases like this, where a finer partitioning of apps and libraries into more/differently structured RPMs would have helped users who need to cut down on disk usage for whatever reason. If you want, you can even post the rpm names to me, and I'll summarize everything here later.
