Firmware is owned by linux-firmware, not the kernel package. I didn't include it in my kernel numbers for that reason.
Currently, this is required by the kernel for pre but not at runtime. (I guess /bin/kernel-install ends up putting things into the initramfs.) Is there any easy way to do that differently and any win from it?
Instead of competing with Ubuntu on minimalist can we compete on pretty close but a lot more flexible? Do Ubuntu users have much choice on how they configure their environment? Or is Fedora Cloud providing a generic cookie cutter installation?
Right, I kind of like that we'd have a smaller core package that is still broadly useful.
