When your ISO is not very recent, pacman -S irssi will fail, pacman
-Sy irssi might screw your system, and pacman -Syu irssi will fill
your RAM. Why do you -1 this? It is 2.5MB (uncompressed) only and
adds no new dependencies.

well, those are some good counter arguments.
My main motivation was image size, as we often have core dual images that go 
well beyond 700MB.
Now we are a bit below 700MB, but depending on packaging changes the size 
sometimes jumps up and down.

But like I said in my previous mail, I don't care, Gerardo should do what he 
feels is best.
