Bloat. It would suck if quality in code was ignored because "modern computers
certainly don't lack disk space" or RAM. The beauty of the open source model
is that code comes with the binaries (if any) so, if you are so inclined, you
can perform your own code review and make revisions as neccesary. Maybe even
share them back with the author.
Want binary packages and bloatware? Go with Windows.

The last statement is illogical. Windoze uses shared libraries
and as a result has the same library compatibility problems.
I also dislike the problems of updating a library and breaking
tools as a result. I would prefer static linking.

Instead of KDE/Gnome, vi/emacs, beer/soda wars I think
developers should work toward more binary packages. Reduce the
dependencies on shared libs. What else causes more headache and
grief than updating one thing and three others no longer work?
Modern computers certainly don't lack disk space.
Any pros/cons, thoughts on that?
