If I've correctly understood this change, I'm not sure this is a positive move. Based on a quick test, removing /rescue saves about 4MB (in reality, the saving should be less because /rescue removes the need for /stand). OTOH, it renders the install CD useless as a recovery "fixit" disk - whilst the CD is unlikely to need recovery itself, it was useful for recovering hard disks -- Peter Jeremy
