OK, initial builds of the packaging split I talked about last week are now at:
http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jwboyer/kernel-core/
Feel free to poke around with the build from today in some VMs you don't care about. I have installed the x86_64 kernel-core package on a local VM and booted successfully. The split is roughly what I talked about last week as well:
[jwboyer@vader kernel]$ rpm -qpi x86_64/kernel-core-3.14.0-0.rc6.git2.4.fc21.x86_64.rpm | grep Size Size : 77220258 [jwboyer@vader kernel]$ rpm -qpi x86_64/kernel-drivers-3.14.0-0.rc6.git2.4.fc21.x86_64.rpm | grep Size Size : 65418445
So ~74MB for kernel-core installed with a 17MB RPM size, and ~63MB for kernel-drivers installed with a 16MB RPM size.
I'll be doing some more local testing of various things over the next couple of days. Once I see that they aren't totally broken, I'll post the patches to the kernel list.

Three things have since been pointed out to me.
1) Apparently some people have no idea what this is about. Go read this thread:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kernel/2014-March/005013.html
2) The kernel package is only 70k and has nothing in it. This is expected. It's a metapackage that just requires kernel-core and kernel-drivers to give you the equivalent of today's kernel package.
3) There are no changelogs. I'm aware of this. The changelog would say "split kernel into kernel-core and kernel-drivers subpackages." Kinda thought that was self-evident and listing it in %changelog makes it harder to rebase as I go. Expect a %changelog entry when it's committed, and more importantly the git commit log will actually be informative to people that care about kernel.spec.

Sigh. So bug #1: The provides in kernel-core and kernel-drivers are slightly off from what kernel needs. kernel-core will install fine on it's own, but if you try to install/update kernel it won't work. Guess I'll be building again first thing in the morning.
