In my experience with NeoOffice, below are the two biggest things that
increased .dmg:

1. Building a Universal .dmg. That would double the size of the binary files
but not any localization or most resource files. But LibreOffice currently
releasesseparate Intel and Silicon .dmg files that might not be applicable to
LibreOffice.

2. Include help files in the .dmg. I did this for NeoOffice and this added
about 15MB per language. But I think the releases on the LibreOffice web site
use web help so that might not be applicable LibreOffice.

3. UI localization and resource files. I don't know how much these add to .dmg
but I am sure it isn't trivial.

So item 3 above is where I think we'll see most of the increase in .dmg size. 
The question for the ESC and TDF is how big is too big? In other words, I don't
think the issue here is a technical one but, instead, it is how much will it
cost TDF to fix this bug. Specifically:

- Monthly recurring increased bandwidth costs
- One time staff cost to implement the necessary build and website changes.
This "cost" is likely what other planned LibreOffice infrastructure would have
to be deferred to make time for this.

I can help implement the necessary build changes if that helps.
