My take from these conversations is that it is best to
a) Not have Lennart's name tied to a request. That just pulls in all
kinds of over-the-top statements where people will say 99.99% of the
people won't use it without any evidence.
b) Don't mention disk space growth. You will get nothing about how you
are bloating the operating system. **
c) Don't mention anything about making debugging or security easier.
Anyone who has a workflow will see that as a challenge to their own
choices.

This change has all three and so is going to be yelled at over and
over again. Instead you should make a change request which will give
you all those but has some other item tied to it.

** We do not have these conversations that the linux-firmware over
time has eaten more disk space or that other compiler choices have
done even worse. It only comes up when people ask for permission
versus just doing it.

time to shutdown -h now.
