Well, I haven't seen this discussion.

But haven't you looked at the KDE spin sizes? The changes made the KDE spin go 
over CD size, which is not acceptable.

The KDE SIG targets 700 MiB for the spin size.

There was no time for that, the F15 Beta RC1 compose is imminent.

The change was made to -base which affects ALL spins and provides NO provision 
to disable this for KDE specifically.

We need to put the prelinking command into individual kickstarts which want 
this, not the base kickstart.

The RC1 compose is imminent, so this had to be reverted urgently.
