Yea, I've rebased again and fixed up the checksums. |

With the latest rebase it seems there are many real failures in the CI that are unrelated to artifacts touched by this PR. I see CentOS qcow's failing on finding a disk in initramfs, and I see pxe-tar-xz failures in the 'disk.img is not in qcow2' format? @achilleas-k / @lzap just for your awareness. |

Looking into qemu2 image format first: #2103 Not sure about that initramfs problem yet. I also see many FIPS failures as well. |

By default we always installed weak dependencies in installers that use the Anaconda tree for their environment. This makes this configurable in the installer configuration in YAML. This is because I noticed that we can drop the installation of weak dependencies in Fedora's network installer (at a minimum). Signed-off-by: Simon de Vlieger <supakeen@redhat.com>
Drop the weak dependency installation on the network installer for Fedora. This brings the filesize within 36 MiB to the currently Lorax-produced media. Previously the difference was ~200 MiB. The last bits will need to be addressed separately but this is already much more manageable. Signed-off-by: Simon de Vlieger <supakeen@redhat.com>

This PR brings our
everything-network-installersize difference from ~200 MiB to just 36 MiB. 16 of which is probably due to packages that have grown post-release, and 20 of it is that we leaveefiboot.imglying around in the ISO. The last one I also plan to address.
