Comment:
Ok, I've `sdist`ed with a version with the patches applied, built the new
Sage distribution from scratch, and all (long) tests pass.
As expected, I got rid of the `examples/` directory and the spkg in the
new distro.
(Note that also the examples spkg in `spkg/standard/` of the ''original''
distribution got deleted; not sure whether this is intentional. In
contrast, the `examples/` directory there remained.)
Upgrading from a path without an examples spkg ''should''^TM^ IMHO also
work; haven't tried that [yet].

Don't know yet whether Jeroen's merger is "prepared" for such an
operation, and since Sage 4.7.2.alpha3 is almost out, I don't think I'll
attempt to merge this ticket into ''this'' release. There'll certainly be
an alpha4, or we could try with the next release candidate.
Unfortunately we don't win much regarding the size; the current examples
spkg is just 2.0 MB, 3.9 MB uncompressed on my disk (i.e., the size of the
`examples/` directory), and just 2.6 MB in "real" bytes.
