Two tidbits from me: 1) jujud on my system is 20MB, so this is approx 2x larger. A fair amount, but I think with compression we saw it wasn't quite as big of a deal (4.6MB vs 5.5MB in tgz form for the last test, but that was a smaller binary). 2) The Ubuntu security team would *really* like it if we used a system libgo.so so that they could supply security fixes for it (like the built in SSL libs) without having to have us rebuild all of our jujud binaries. Which would save us some of that size (I think you said approx 10MB was libgo.so), at a cost of having to have a libgo package for all supported platforms. If we name the package appropriately (libgo-1.1, etc) then we can probably even still migrate to a different version of the runtime when it becomes useful (we just install a different package in cloud-init).
