As i got to know today from a redhat guy working on security this is no longer 
the case - haven`t checked that yet, but perhaps Steve can say something 
about it ?

... which is the problem. I (would) avoid any changes to the kernel, or at 
least provide an unchanged and a union-fs enabled one, supporting both 
methods for runtime-writable space. (writable fs parts still would have to be 
under one 'tmpfs - parent' directory ).
Union-fs in the default fc kernel would be wonderfull, but i don`t think this 
will happen in near future ?

Would be nice to be able to reference /usr/share/doc to a network source.

Another candidate to safe space is /usr/share/locale - i have it reduced to 
~55Mb by removing all unsupported languages, but I don`t think this can be 
done with an official livecd (which is expected to support eg. japanese and 
russian).

Agreed. :)
