I am not on the base WG. I was not selected for it. If you come up with schemes like this, it is really a good idea to actually ask the people who work on the package you are trying to work on or work around... Can we please do this stuff more systematically? I also offered to split out the hwdb in Brno, if you remember. If this is about the hwdb, then let's just do that... But regarding kmod/devicemapper, can we please get some stats about how big this individually are, and how much is saved by this? kmod at least is 150K or so only. Is there really any value in doing this weird stuff for a fricking 150K?! Fedora has no bigger fishes to fry? The systemd-container or fakesystemd stuff sounds awfully adhoc. Can we please always discuss this first, and see if we can find a different solution? We don't need three different "solutions", if one works too...
