If I've correctly understood this change, I'm not sure this is a
positive move.

Based on a quick test, removing /rescue saves about 4MB (in reality,
the saving should be less because /rescue removes the need for
/stand).  OTOH, it renders the install CD useless as a recovery
"fixit" disk - whilst the CD is unlikely to need recovery itself, it
was useful for recovering hard disks
