Patrice wasn't talking about trimming the CD by selecting a smaller package set, he was talking about trimming the CD by setting up the live CD filesystem and then removing documentation and other "excess stuff". If such a CD were prepared and users installed the content of the live CD to their hard drive, those things would remain missing. Yum wouldn't fix it.
