The point isn't to add or remove extra kilobytes, but to ship the strict minimum. Otherwise, we might as well add: - GNU screen - vim - joe (yes, I like this one...) - emacs (wooo... a few megabytes!) - less - etc. Why not? These are nice... So if the criteria is to have the strict minimum, "less" isn't needed. If it's to have a nice env, then we'll fight and fight over and over again to decide which should be added (vim vs emacs anyone?).
