If empathy didn't have a hard requires on some of it's plugins, like telepathy-haze (which pulls in libpurple) that would drop 20MB or more. IMO, the only hard-requires for empathy should probably be telepathy-gabble (XMMP) & telepathy-salut (local-link XMMP), the rest we should give a hard look at what we want to use a default in comps to reduce some of the bloat.
I do agree that this adds a hefty chunk of size to the image; but if we do not keep the Haze and other telepathy stack components in it, then it becomes a severe regression from previous releases' Live images, which I'd also dislike to have happen. :-/
The gnome-games-help package is fairly big for this (nearly half of what we need to free up); is this strictly required for the LiveCD?
