FTR you didn't actually answer the points there. (1) I don't deny that curl-minimal will reduce the size of some niche containers, my point is this is not a worthwhile goal to pursue given the costs. (2) Once people have unbroken their Fedora by installing curl-full, the security claims you make about compiled code paths are not applicable.
