I performed a tree-wide analysis regarding EGO_SUM and IIRC published
the results in my previous post about EGO_SUM last year.
https://dev.gentoo.org/~flow/ego_sum-2022-01-01.txt shows the analysis
results for ::gentoo as of 2022-01-01 (I've recently updated the file to
contain the Manifest-size too).
Minikube (#833478) and k3s (#833477) appear there, too, with
package-directory sizes over one MiB. However, those packages are under
the top five of packages using EGO_SUM by package-directory size.
They do not represent the average Go package.
The mean size of a Manifest of a package using EGO_SUM was 186 KiB, and
the median was even lower at 84 KiB. Only a tiny percentage of packages,
below 5%, had a Manifest-size above one MiB.
It sounds like you've identified a compelling rationale for a Manifest
size limit.
Please feel free and encouraged to elaborate on your thoughts about
Manifest size limitation.
