This should improve reliability and reduce vulnerability. I have= to argue why I need a library/package and I'm having problems to argue why= I need libX11 etc. The few megabytes are not my problem my problem it's th= e environment I'm working. Is it possible to get rpm not to depend on a full GUI erlang install? This is likely what pulls in most of the X11* related stuff. This is standard/possible on debian etc but I don't know how the split is done for redhat-alike distros. Alternatively, if you're in the Aviation industry consider rolling your own release with this erlang https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp and the spidermonkey from http://bigcouch.cloudant.com/use .
