That's pure demagogy (sp?) - it DOESN'T matter that they will be useful in 10 out of 1000 cases, can't you understand it? It's the same as if you said that mounting an air-bag in a car in a *VAST* >>>MAJORITY<<< of cases they are wasteful. You have a choice - DON'T buy an air-bag, DON'T install those binaries.

There is memory cost, of course, and a huge one - but they will be used in such rare cases that it in *VAST* >>>MAJORITY<<< of cases doesn;t matter. regards, marek
