I have to admit that I haven't looked at the code for pacman but even though it's a bit of a cosmetic change only, I personally don't find it objectionable to show the size of each package that is selected for downloading. I don't know about the "but technically there is no proper way to implement it" statement, I'd rather review the code first than to fire off the hip in response to a coment like that.
