And I guess I'd be curious to hear if the concern is the amount of
space required for these files on their webserver, which would be
reduced if the code is obfuscated, or if their concern is the size of
the code base as it impacts the browser, which was answered by both
posts.  Or if lastly, the size is concerning from a maintenance point
of view.  We recently turned over a GWT based app to our support group
and that was their first concern:  the amount of code on the server,
how could they possibly debug it?  What they failed to realize (as do
many people) that the code they were looking at was artifacts
generated by the compiler and their focus needs to be on the source,
which were nice tidy Java packages living in the source repository.
