Generally speaking though, since we don't have "requirements" here

I don't think it makes sense to add this to the list.
Huh, a little odd. We do have actual minimum disk requirements. Can't
download and startup Chandler with some dozens of Mb free.
So though I maybe get what you're trying to say, it's weird because
CPU/speed/memory are mere guidelines. Chandler will run regardless of
any of those, though it may swap like mad. Disk consumption is more
than a helpful guideline; there *is* actually a requirement.
In any case, I wasn't trying to say "you should have a 1Gb disk drive",
I was suggesting "you need some amount of disk space free". It is
likely much smaller than 1Gb; it's what, 20Mb for package, 120Mb for
unpackage install, and say 5Mb minimum to create a repo? Probably 25Mb
minimum suggested for log files and imported data? So 160Mb not 1Gb?
This is larger than for most packages, so it seems really helpful to
mention that on the only page that sets expectations for desktop
resource consumption.
Another proposal: How about combining the processor speed column with
the CPU column?
Sure, though I thought it looked cleaner/easier to read that way.
It's fine if another column isn't added.
