The Container/Dockerfile equivalent of the fedora-toolbox OCI images
didn't exclude weak dependencies [1] so the Kickstart shouldn't either.
The fedora-toolbox OCI image is meant for interactive command line
environments, not for deploying server applications. Therefore, they
need a fully featured CLI user experience at par with what's offered on
Fedora Silverblue and Workstation. Among the Kickstart files defined
here, other than fedora-container-toolbox.ks, only these ones exclude
weak dependencies:
* fedora-container-base-minimal.ks
* fedora-container-base.ks
* fedora-container-common.ks
* fedora-eln-container-base.ks
* fedora-modular-disk-minimal.ks
None of the other Kickstarts, and definitely not those for Fedora
Workstation, exclude weak dependencies.
As a concrete example, the default-editor meta RPM relies on Recommends
for its functionality [2].
