I base games off of xfce and games is oversize right now and needs to be fixed by beta. Part of this is that xfce got 200MB bigger. I did a quick look at comps and the ks files and didn't see anything obvious that would make it that much larger. So I'm wondering if it should really be smaller and I can wait before cutting games or if I going to need to cut something in the games spin to get it back under 4GB?

I did some looking around and it does look like the difference is new packages that weren't there before. There are a number of new packages in f22 (I looked at rawhide as I had the iso handy) as compared to f20. But it looks like the space is pretty spread out. So with some work, some of the space might be reclaimable, but I expect that things are just going to be bigger this release.
A couple of big ones were rodent-icon-theme (36 MB) and adwaita-icon-theme (15 MB), but it's possible those are replacing something else and the net gain is really smaller.
python3 adds some space. It looks like anaconda and abrt related packages either weren't in there before or had package name changes. There are also a few new font packages.
