I did a minimal install yesterday, and was surprised to find that cairo, and a bunch of X libs were still installed.
The dependancy chain that pulled them in looks like this..
policycoreutils -> dbus-glib -> gobject-introspection -> fontconfig -> cairo
This is fixed in F15 in multiple ways (restorecond is split out of policycoreutils, and dbus-glib no longer deps on gobject-introspection, and g-i no longer depends on cairo)
Could any part of that chain have its dependancies relaxed ?
Unfortunately we didn't notice this dependency until pretty late in F14...I'm not sure what can be done reasonably at this point, since all of these packages are critical path.
