How much extra room would it take up?
What is it needed for?  (what's Siesta?)
How many people would use it?
Is there a package that can be installed to easily add on the fortran support?
Does the convinience of having it installed for the number of people that
 would use it outweigh the drawbacks (unnecessary bloat, increased build
 times, larger source tree) for everyone else?
