I do agree that this adds a hefty chunk of size to the image; but if we
do not keep the Haze and other telepathy stack components in it, then it
becomes a severe regression from previous releases' Live images, which
I'd also dislike to have happen. :-/
That's why I said we should look at what to include in the comps, and
not put hard requires in the spec. ;)
And there *are* going to be regressions in features even with tp-haze.
Empathy won't be able to do things like file-transfers, etc, that Pidgin
currently supports.
Later,
