- Memory consumption goes sky-high and performance degrades badly. This
might not be that much of a problem in most modern systems but for eg
OLPC is likely to be a showstopper.
I'd argue that this is the simplest solution. Where the memory and CPU
usage skyrockets is with large number of kernel-devel packages,
and all the Red Hat/Fedora systems limit this already with things like
installonlyn. Then, in a later release, fix fingerprinting the right way.
It's certainly by far the simplest solution, and also the only 100%
correct one. Whether the consequences are acceptable in real world usage
is another question - maybe we should put it into Fedora rawhide for a
test-drive and see if it explodes :)
