The problem with your argument is that one "ridiculously negligible"
overhead and then another and then yet another etc. ends up accumulating and
we end up with minimum RAM and disk space requirements increased by a factor
of 10 (!) since the day Fedora was founded.
And yes, I also complain about the other sources of bloat. They all add up,
and they are all a problem. (For the build flags, I have been arguing for
ages that we should build with -Os rather than -O2.)
