So D-I no longer cares about systems like the NSLU ("Slug")?
Keeping memory usage down is IMO still as essential as it has ever been.
It's a huge regression that ppl don't seem to care about that anymore.
What exactly was the size impact on busybox of adding tar create support?
(I tend to agree with Colin that adding that was bizarre.)
What is the size impact of adding getopt and CONFIG_NFSMOUNT support (each
separately and together preferably)?
Without checking such facts you cannot even start to make a decision.
