Playing with a minimal Pungi kickstart file I get an install CD of about 500MB. If I add the xs-pkgs dependencies, things balloon to 759MB, no longer fitting in a CD. My guess is that a good 1/3 of that is related to the graphical installer and related dependencies which we don't want on the installed CD.
It's not a complete deal breaker, but I prefer to distribute images that are small, and ideally fit on 1 CD.

This is how I am building the F9 XS images -
sudo pungi -c kickstarts/pungi-f9-minimal.ks --nosource --name XS --ver=0.5dev --force --discs=1 --nosplitmedia
And pungi-f9-minimal.ks contains...
