@tstellar I think @jrtc27 is over reacted on this issue. I'd be strongly in favor of keeping the status quo.

Reverting would just do more harm. Newer instrumentation technology will suffer more from the unneeded size bloat.

It ships more than 12k packages, probably more.

I'd appreciate more official FreeBSD folks doing an analysis, rather than making claims just based on anecdotal cases from LDC.
