This entire disk size optimization seems kind of weird to me. 

I just booted a f20 offiical cloud image in our openstack cloud. I used
the m1.tiny (smallest size, no persistent storage): 

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        20G  1.1G   19G   6% /

Is a few 10's of MB's really worth making our kernel a bunch more
complex? Is disk space the right thing to be trying to optimize? 

Perhaps I am missing it, but are there cases where the current cloud
image is too large? what are they?
