Back in the day, Motorola and Symbian used to really pressure us to keep the library footprint down. Every byte mattered. But more recently, mobile phone designers are telling me things like "try to keep the size under 5 megabytes, if you can, please." Based on those more recent conversations, I'm thinking that we have more headroom that we have had historically, and so I have recently been allowing new features to start creeping into the core. Size is still important. But having useful features is important too. I'm continuing to work to find the right balance between these competing goals. -- D.
