I'm assuming your argument is that you don't want to ship RPMs or
repositories where part of them grows to be 25x larger.
But this need not be the case. Observe that the packages already
contain the data (in the libraries and binaries themselves).
That data is in the RPM payload though. The YUM depsolving code
does not have any of the RPM payloads available - it is still
trying to figure out which it needs. So at least the YUM repodata
will grow in size significantly, even if the RPMs themselves did
not.
