Desktop spin after install takes around 2.6GB of space, then there is
swap and Desktop spin is far from usable for my use cases so I need
additiona apps... the space gets eaten really fast.

I had no issue with space when I had an option of using 8GB SD card
with Fedora 9, now because of this bug I have no option but to manage
on only 4GB :(((
