I have no interest one way or the other, but it's worth pointing out
that 1 GB costs well under a dime on consumer disks, somewhat more on a
higher performance file system.  I think the point where 6 MB of disk is
lost in the noise has past several years ago, and administrators that
fail to acknowledge this ought to be notified.  Of course output from
production runs is an entirely different matter, but that's not what the
present discussion is about.
