    But when have you ever thought about sftp'ing a file using curl?
    No, but I have used libcurl for that.

      Thanks, that's exactly my concern. fedora does seem to be the playground for RedHat for a lot of changes especially container wise and I can't imagine shrinking the binary size of a package on fedora to be used for many other reasons other then for containers as i don't see fedora used much in embedded however I may be wrong as I know redhat is working on their automotive linux division and this could be a way of getting this change sorted out upstream of them.

        I don't work in as tightly controlled environment as you do, it seems. In my environment, we could either freeze the container base image (which is an obvious no-no from a security standpoint) or do the Dockerfile modifications necessary for the product work on the latest image version (such as that "yum install curl-full" thing mentioned earlier). I don't really see other realistic options, there are other options such as stopping Redhat from doing these changes to their UBIs.
