For the 0.5.x and 0.6.x series I've been re-creating the VB VM by upgrading TileMill and recompacting to try to save space. For 0.7.x I plan to create a fresh VM because:

* oneric is now out and we should likely use the latest stuff (without upgrading, to avoid any bloat)
* since 0.6.x changed the data directory there is the leftover data directory and the size it takes up (even after deleting and compacting)

We should also take a look for 0.7.x at making the VM self-update, so that the first boot of the machine by someone that has downloaded it will update TileMill to the latest release (avoiding needing to re-issue the VM for each point release).
