I've made a first pass over comps and the spin kickstart files. Some
things I've made:
- replace gnome-themes by gnome-themes-standard, as you've noticed
- don't include librsvg3 (which had only a very brief existence)
- update our exclusions to exclude libreoffice instead of ooo
After these changes, I end up with a 730M desktop spin, even without
rhythmbox.
As far as further necessary changes, I see at least the following:
- finish packaging cantarell fonts, and include them
- smoke out perl dependencies again
- look at other ways to save some space
