    These pieces are clearly not necessary and removing them makes the system
    closure a bit smaller.
    
    There are still many more pieces that *seem* like they should be unnecessary
    that get pulled into a build.  However, these are only *build* time
    dependencies and it's somewhat harder to get rid of them: it requires either
    passing non-default arguments to the Nix expression defining the
    derivation (not too hard, only works where supported, determined on a
    case-by-case basis), modifying the Nix expressions themselves for each package
    to remove the unwanted dependencies (harder, only works where supported,
    determined on a case-by-case basis), or actually modifying the upstream
    software and/or its build system to eliminate the dependency (very hard,
    unlikely to be worth pursuing in general).
    
    Once we consider the runtime closure and the build time closure separately,
    our system sizes are not that bad - around 500MB (payment a little smaller,
    storage node a little bigger).
