This is here partly for upgrade paths.  In the past, the release notes were a 
part of fedora-release anyway, there was no separation.  We split them up so 
that the Docs folks could work on the notes independently from the 
fedora-release package.  To ensure that notes stayed on the system in the 
event of upgrades, fedora-release requires the release-notes.

That said, for your tiny spin you could make an empty or tiny package that 
provided fedora-release-notes that just had a single file explaining what the 
LiveCD was for and all that.  You would be able to save a lot of space with 
that.  Of course, then you wouldn't be able to call it Fedora, but then 
again, I don't want to see something produced as "Fedora" that didn't include 
our release notes.
