Hi,
I think that if we reduce to amount of metadata necessary to transfer
both users and maintainers will benefit.
They will consume less bandwidth and be able to serve more clients and
the users will have faster downloads.
And the people who get hurt are both users AND developers.
users b/c problems will be put-near impossible to debug
developers b/c they will have lost sanity writing and maintaining this
code.
