"clang" as been removed, but it's not mention in the commit message. The
other changes are kind of "the usual improvement" yes, as been done to
other containers (libaio, nasm, ...).

The patch is missing an update of the "containerize" script.

You might want to add --setopt=install_weak_deps=False to avoid
installing "git" for example.
When running the original command by hand, `dnf` want to install those weak deps:
    Installing weak dependencies:
     apr-util-bdb
     apr-util-openssl
     cryptsetup-libs
     diffutils
     git
     libbpf
     libxkbcommon
     mercurial
     perl-NDBM_File
     python3-fb-re2
     python3-pip
     qrencode-libs
     subversion
     systemd-networkd
     systemd-resolved
And comparring the list of deps, these extra pkgs are installed because
of weak deps:
    apr
    apr-util
    dbus
    dbus-broker
    dbus-common
    device-mapper
    device-mapper-libs
    git-core-doc
    kmod-libs
    libargon2
    libseccomp
    libserf
    perl-Error
    perl-File-Find
    perl-Git
    perl-TermReadKey
    perl-lib
    python3-zombie-imp
    re2
    subversion-libs
    systemd
    systemd-pam
    utf8proc
    xkeyboard-config

So, probably only "perl-File-Find" (can be written "perl(File::Find)" I
think as well) might be needed, but only for docs/ I think, from the
previous email.

It seems I go from 1.26GB to 1.18GB without those weak deps.

Cheers,
