My 2 cents: I think we don't really need to care about the size for rescue binary after the splitfs VFS layer have been introduced to libstand? Build of release split MFSROOT was 2006-ish and I feel that this can be gone. One of my hope is that we can add bzip2 or even 7zip support to loader, though, which may not fit a floppy though.
