Hi, Obviously this is a trade-off; if we can increase binary size we can add more optimizations, for more platforms, and development will be a little faster, because we are not having to spend time optimizing for binary size.
If people on slow internet connections had to download numpy multiple times, I guess this would be an issue, but I've lived behind excruciatingly slow and unreliable connections, in Cuba, and, for a download you do a few times a year, I very much doubt there would be practical difference between 16M and say, 20M. If it's 16M vs 50M, then I think it's worth having the discussion, with the relevant trade-offs.
