Well perl will be gone by the time F-14 goes live so most of that
won't need to stay anyway.
It should be gone well before then. Removing stuff in post can break things
that include the ks file. That's not good. Is the cd image actually over size
right now if you don't do that? It still might be better to live with over
sized images (since DVDs can be used for testing) for alpha and beta, rather
than potentially causing issues for other things.
Are things actually moving in anaconda with regard to getting the perl
dependency out? Those guys have different priorities and if someone isn't
working with them it's possible they may work on other things they feel
are more important.
