Hi, in my opinion, maemo-optify shouldn't be hailed as the good-for-everyone savior to the rootfs space issue. I see it as a workaround for software that cannot be easily relocated to /opt.
Optification symlinks take space on the rootfs too, so if you have a lot of them, you still waste several megabytes. Optification breaks package upgrading. File opening operations take longer as the system has to resolve a symlink first. Please don't get me wrong. optify is still useful and good to have, but everybody should bear in mind that it's only a workaround, and that relocating the software to /opt would be a much safer and more elegant solution. IMHO optify is OK for porting software from upstream, but if you write specifically for the N900, you should rather consider making your software easily relocatable eventually.
