True, first you have to uncompress it, the work with the image. Than do
the install script manually.
but I am asking for a global change on koji.
that way the installer script works with images to more 4GB mSD cards.

Could you possibly reduce the size of the / partition so that the
total image is a bit smaller?
Your image requires a 3.95GB mSD card. 7919615 512 byte sectors
to be exact (or at least with the server image).
I have LOTS of 4GB in the 3.8GB size. For example the one I had
with my traveling last week is 7774208 512 byte sectors.
It is not like you have filled the / partition; there is unused
space. It would make your claim that a 4GB mSD card can be used
for the image install more likely to be true.
Or just state that better use work with a 8GB mSD card to avoid
possible overwrite errors.
My 2c worth.
Oh, and interesting that F24 fdisk reports the xfs partition as swap?
