I'm not sure we need to get too specific - at least, we can't make specific
claims unless someone can validate function, which I can't personally do
for cloud guests - but it would be nice to claim function on a certain
class of node. Once we clear the installer hurdle, a minimal system doesn't
need much.

Clearly, the memory requirements of the installation environment can't be
equated to the memory requirements for the running environment, especially
for cloud guests. @minimal requires less memory to install than a full
desktop - but does anyone want to run Fedora with less memory than that, or
is doing so venturing out of reasonable guidelines and into
proof-of-concept adventureland?
