Description

Given that the image size is absolutely dominated by JDK (~300 Mb uncompressed), would it be reasonable to ship both Leiningen (~15 Mb uncompressed) and tools.deps (around the same but also needs Git installed) in the single image, kinda like what is done for latest? There are a couple of projects that use both on CI and such projects could benefit from such a change. Are there any drawbacks apart from increased image size?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing image definitions and the arrangement used for latest, then compare the Leiningen and tools.deps image contents, including the JDK and Git size costs mentioned here. Done means reaching a maintainer-backed decision on whether to merge them and, if approved, defining the combined image’s expected contents and trade-offs.
