So, it turns out we are over size in f19 again... 

The java issue was fixed, so removing perl no longer removes java. 

foomatic is still removed, but I am pretty sure system-config-printer
will install that for you if you need it. 

I'll try and dig around for other things we could remove or fix in the
next few weeks, but if someone else wants to, please do. 

Just boot a nightly live and look at: 

rpm -qa --qf '%{size} %{name}\n' | sort -nr | head -100

and try 'yum remove package' and see what deps it pulls. 

Currently the last nightly was: 

792723456 (756M)

so, we need to remove/prune at least 60MB or so.
