What live system packages can be removed post-install?

Ref:
I just noticed that the recent dnf update updated a few anaconda related packages. Now that I’ve already installed my new F30 system, can these be removed? Is there a list of packages that are in the live-media that users can remove after they’ve finished installing their new systems?
rpm -qa \*anaconda\*
anaconda-gui-30.25.6-2.fc30.x86_64
anaconda-widgets-30.25.6-2.fc30.x86_64
anaconda-live-30.25.6-2.fc30.x86_64
anaconda-user-help-26.1-9.fc30.noarch
anaconda-tui-30.25.6-2.fc30.x86_64
libreport…
You could remove the packages, but why go to the trouble?
It will take some effort to work out what is safe to remove and it will not save that much disk space.
The old kernels are good to keep around just in case a new kernel does not boot on your hardware. By defaults 3 kernels are kept.

aajohan-comfortaa-fonts
anaconda
anaconda-install-env-deps
anaconda-live
dracut-live
livesys-scripts
Basically everything except kernel and langpack.
p.s.
No guarantees as I just looked up the package descriptions on Fedora Packages. Nothing seems broken at the moment.
The font can be removed since I think the system uses font meta package, a single font seems weird.
