Please note that some install options will automatically pull in some extra packages. For example, installing on an encrypted filesystem will pull in some packages, and installing on software RAID will pull in some another set of packages. Here's a list of packages that I think are one way or another affected by this (and their dependencies):
chrony cryptsetup cryptsetup-libs device-mapper-event device-mapper-event-libs device-mapper-persistent-data dosfstools efibootmgr grub2 grub2-efi grubby libreport-filesystem lvm2 lvm2-libs mdadm mokutil shim shim-unsigned
I would suggest making sure these packages get included, otherwise some functionality of the installer may break.
anaconda also mentions realmd. I suppose it would get installed if anaconda needs to access an Active Directory server during installation. That package depends on PackageKit-glib, libarchive, oddjob, oddjob-mkhomedir and psmisc. I don't have an AD server here at home, but I suppose it'd work like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_realmd_join_kickstart
I did a minimal install under VBox this evening then ran yum install for the 18 packages listed above. 8 of those were already installed so this added 10 to the mix. I didn't include the ones listed as Active Directory. I then ran this in the Packages dir of the DVD1 with just the rpm names in my txt file:
$ for f in $(cat /tmp/rpmnames.txt); do ls -la $f-[0-9]*; done > /tmp/rpmnls.txt $ awk '{ n += $5 } END { print n }' /tmp/rpmnls.txt 210154444
I've now attached that list to my mail in the format discussed on IRC. If I'm right about 210MB then I don't think space on a CD will be too much of a problem but let's wait and see what it turns out like once it's built ;-)

I've also started to produce a minimal.iso (and so packages manifest) It's not about the packages size, but the size of the install media *without* any package at all (and metadata) :
5.9M EFI/ 438M images/ (we can remove boot.iso , obviously -> 76M) 70M isolinux/ 279M LiveOS/
and we still have to add the packages .. so not sure it will fit on a single CD. and if the goal is to produce a DVD iso image, I don't think people will be interested in "wasting" a DVD for a ~1G iso instead of the normal DVD, that covers both minimal and other "variants" ...
I'll give it a try though (and speaking about minimal, not micro instance that was mentioned too)
Faster than I thought :
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 633M Jul 13 13:27 CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-minimal.iso
Let's try it and also try to cover all features needed now for various install scenarios (efi/mdadm/iscsi/fcoe/etc ....)
