Assuming you already disabled debug info and understood that systemd 
replaces more than init and has a lot of command line switches to 
disable functionality you may not need...then yes go ahead with ideas.


However I think you are doing something wrong, openSUSE's fully featured 
systemd package is 4.4 MB in size including the rpm metadata.
