I say again - this argument is specious.  Nobody is forcing you to use
an option.  All you are doing with your nattering about small memory
machines is killing off enthusiasm for an idea that is useful for
people with the resources to support the OPTION.  Stop badgering
people on a point that has no technical merit given that the feature
proposed is optional and if configured out will have no memory impact
at all.
