o Can you show a list of bugs related to main packages missing *.la
files to compare the pains? And doesn't this contradict your
statement "*.la files are unneccessary"?
AGAIN (and citing [1]): Sentence was written under the assumption that
all .la files will be shipped.
When .la will not be shipped they do not need to be in main packages
(nor in -devel ones) because they are not shipped.
o How many milliseconds are we losing for module loading through
*.la
files? How much faster in percentage do the modules load w/o *.la
files?
Dunno. But we can save these few milliseconds without any costs by
removing the .la files.
