 Yes, we've had a spreadsheet for a bit with that data (raw data
generated by[1]), I'll try to get that into html/wiki this week.
 For a significant portion of the work the plan is:

1. ldconfig => delete them as not needed
2. adduser/group/etc. => sysusers files
3. touch/mv/cp/etc. => systemd-tmpfiles

...there have been ideas for some of the exceptional cases, but if we
don't it all of them for F31 we'll still be in a better place for F32.

 Although we'd change multiple packages, we don't need to co-ordinate
much between packages and there won't be any big flag day like event
which is why I chose self contained.
