Often, but not always. The bloat is another issue with libxo. It’s a problem
for the embedded routers that Adrian has been pushing. It is a problem with
many of the embedded boards I have. It isn’t too big of a problem with RPi
and the like because SD cards are a lot easier to upgrade than chip-down
NAND Flash parts.
