The suggestion was to move it into a different location, but you still would only have one version of it, even for a multiplatform kernel, so no code growth there. Right now, a multiplatform kernel has no way of debugging the decompressor using console output, so it's actually /smaller/ than a single-platform kernel, but also less capable. Stephen's patches are a way to bring that feature back for platforms that are converted to multiplatform, but such a kernel would still only work on a single platform, even if it has all the actual kernel code enabled to support others.
