Hi! I wonder if we really need /usr/share to be over 106MB in FreeBSD-13.1-BETA1-amd64-mini-memstick.img increasing its uncompressed size upto 434MB ? Same for bootonly image that is somewhat less but it's still pretty large to be used for network booting some hoster's virtual machine, for example. Isn't it time to use GEOM_UZIP, move kernel modules to /boot/modules out of /boot/kernel and compress /boot/modules (141MB) and /usr (165MB) to reduce size of "mini" installatiom media drastically?
