Does it matter? C++ programmers already accept that RTTI is needed for certain dynamic features.
Yes, it is necessary, but how much? Can we do it with implicitly generated library code?
I'm pretty sure the answer is "not much" and "yes", but I still need to ponder the details. I think the typeinfo for a class good enough for dynamic cast could be about half the size we have now.
Though like I said, a lot of the stuff we have now is cool stuff, so I don't want to miss it entirely, it could be behind another pointer.
