As we prepare to push ovirt-node ISOs to ovirt.org while also working on getting an ovirt-node spin into Fedora, there is some debate over whether the version hosted on ovirt.org should use the minimizer kickstart or not. Main argument for including the minimizer kickstart: Size. We're currently looking at something around 130MB for the ISO with minimizer and probably around double that without it (I don't have one built currently without the minimizer so I don't have the actual size). Main argument for not using the minimizer: Consistently with the fedora spin. We can't use the minimizer in the Fedora spins, so providing an ISO that matches the fedora spin would be the same. Any votes or preferences on which we want to host? Mike

I'd like to push Fedora to change this policy over time. But first we just need to get the node into Fedora w/o blacklisting... 2. The RHEVH product uses blacklisting and I would rather that blacklist only be enabled in the product since that reduces our chances of catching errors elsewhere Perry

It seems that the consensus is to post the minimized version on ovirt.org while we work with the Fedora board to get an exception to the rules for the official spin.
