I do think size is of concern (even today with TB size disks), think of containers or small/embedded systems. See the recent developments regarding docker and alpine. Atm we have those three options: 1/ don't enable a feature to keep the footprint down 2/ enable the feature but split it into a separate package → risk of balkanizing across distros 3/ enable the feature but ship it in the main package → accept the constant increase in footprint As for some background: we recently got a recent in Debian to enable and ship the systemd-sysusers binary [1] as this is apparently required by rkt now. We don't make use of systemd-sysusers in Debian, so this would mean an additional 300K on every installation which is wasted for the majority of users. The alternative is to split it off, which is not too compelling either. Question is, why systemd-sysusers is such a large binary in the first place for such trivial functionality. And maybe we can address that.
