No idea yet of size increase, there will be 3 sets of install
trees, though not all of the products want install DVD's, we are
dropping the Source DVD which will free up some space. I do expect that
it will be somewhat bigger than releases have been in the past.


I am trying to get a compose done to see what the products will all
look like and what the disk usage is like.  one of the things the cloud
working group wants to deliver is a tree using ostree[1] for a
atomically updated docker host[2]. it is a completely different way to
deliver an os and will also have updated trees pushed out.  there is
many questions yet over how it all will work.

additionally the Cloud guys want to deliver periodically updated images.
