4Suite appears to be about 50% test code; the test code could be removed or moved into a -devel package. Also, do we need to ship all 3 of .py, .pyo and .pyc files?
Last time I looked, Omni was badly bloated because there is lots of base class code compiled into each of 450 or so shared libraries. Could probably cut 55 Mb down to a few Mb, by putting all the base classes into separate .so files.

Please let us know if you find any packages that contain large and very not useful stuff like this. Very often we have no interest in the "INSTALL" file since we already installed it via rpm, and in many cases INSTALL is only the generic installation instructions. We can always remove that safely. This is totally worth it if we can save a few MB of space and reduce RPM file sizes.
Also any cases where development specific documentation (like API specifications) are within the main package as %doc, we should move it to the -devel package. This should save some space in desktop installations.
