dracut-config-rescue generates the "rescue" images in the /boot
partition (at least on Fedora hosts). This is a waste of space since
these are ultimately throwaway VMs.
Uninstall dracut-config-rescue from the base images so that rescue
initrds are not generated in the guests, thus saving space for more
"make linux" invocations.
