what developers often not see are cross-deps yum remove lib1 package-cleanup --leavses --all oh: "yum remove lib2 lib3 lib4" possible now package-cleanup --leavses --all oh: "yum remove lib5 lib6 lib7 lib8" is possible now sometimes you can do this circle multiple times honestyl i have often seen such cross-deps freeing up around 100 MB, on a virtual infrastructure multiplied with 30 we are at 300 MB and additionally the benefit besides only the storage is: * much faster dist-upgrades on all machines * less troubles with fighting dependencies that said, in the last few years i freed up 25% on any of my servers by look critical what is really isntalled, remove anything unneeded and remove any cross-dependencie the difference finally is 3-5 minutes for a complete fedora dist-upgrade and last but not least you reduce the potentially exploitable code on your machines - the last years showed that sooner or later nearly anything got exploitable
