I understand.

I would expect nasty hidden bugs introduced by such gray customization.

A rough estimation goes like this,
35.7MiB casapy-42.2.30986-1-64b/lib64/python2.7/__casac__
18.5MiB casapy-42.2.30986-1-64b/lib64/python2.7/asap
54.2MiB total
Suppose I miscounted something, chances are it is smaller than 100MiB.
