Applying PTFs perm, whether the MF or the SF/SI ones does clean up some
space.  However, be aware that if you ever need to remove a PTF, it's
almost impossible when they're applied perm.  If you want to remove a PTF,
you've got to be able to revert to the previous level of the modules, so a
backup has to be on disk.  It's these "backups" that are eliminated when a
PTF is applied perm and this is the space you regain.
