No, but it's presumably similar.

Until Fedora Extras really gets going, there's not really *that* much
stuff that can be moved out.  It's certainly possible to do a 2-CD binary
distribution (I've done it), but you're trimming more than just fat.
Basically, all the really crufty stuff is also the small stuff.

The easiest way to trim the most space is to remove a desktop, by
far. But I don't think that's very practical for Core right now. More
people want more desktops rather than less. :)
