The default distro feature list also includes all of the available
communication stacks, full x11 stack, pulseaudio etc. It seems to me
that the aim is to enable as many various features as possible by
default. Distros can and should trim the list to their specific needs.

Space isn't affected much on build host, and if you don't install -doc
packages it's not affected on the target at all. Build time is somewhat
longer for specific packages (those which have gtk-doc support), but
whether the overall, parallelized build is affected I don't know - I
think RP asked someone to do a test for master-next vs. master now (with
all the other stuff that went in recently).
