     The yum-minimal element now removes the linux-firmware and
     linux-firmware-whence packages to save space in cloud images.
Uninstall linux-firmware and linux-firmware-whence linux-firmware and linux-firmware-whence (meta package for mostly iwl firmwares) packages account for approx. 289 M install size on a F30 system, and linux-firmware for approx. 176 M on CentOS 7. Users needing these firmwares are eventually baremetal users and are not looking for a very minimal operating system base install like virtual image users are. Thus, a non-minimal OS element is better suited for them. Alternatively, it could be later considered a dedicated firmware element. This is inline with I8ce65e1d357d15e8ed8995ad1dcaea02bbd1986f.
