Maybe we want to do that for f12? It is a bit messy, but I think it's
worth it for 3/700M.
Nope, it breaks the ability to easily install by copying over the
filesystem. And when you consider that someone may be booting via pxe
and then trying to install (see livecd-iso-to-pxeboot), there's no
guarantee that we can get that file back.
OTOH, someone may opt-in to remove the duplicate files or foo or bar
basically breaking this feature which is not essential to the concept of
Live media (but is a Fedora feature and so must be on all Fedora
released Live media).
Well, maybe it might break something else, but I corrected Jeremy on the
livecd-is-to-pxeboot case.
An 'rm' in %post would be too early, and so the "user" is out of
alternatives.
I'd suggest if someone really wants to remove the kernel from the
filesystem before it is squashed, but after it has been copied, they
write a plugin for Revisor and send me the patch ;-)
If only there were a thousand hours in a day...
