This is a whole other thread I've been talking about for years, but if we want to be concerned about dumping "garbage" on people's limited root file systems, there are other things we need to re-consider, like our notion that we have to install small files everywhere even though they aren't always used. So, if you want to talk about that, please start a whole new thread.
1. The idea that we should fix all existing problems before we can prevent people from creating new ones is ridiculous. 2. Those other files don't get installed to the root filesystem on the systems that we're talking about. 3. Those other files generally aren't completely useless. 4. "small files" aren't big.
