Well, just a few days ago, I managed to stop a Change that would have almost
doubled Python 3's size wherever both the python3 executable and the
libpython3 library are needed, and to point out an alternative (though Jan
Kratochvil beat me to it by ~64 minutes) that brings the same performance
gain without the size increase (-fno-semantic-interposition).
I am constantly trying to fight bloat, but it is usually a political rather
than a technical fight. And the typical outcome (see, e.g., MiniDebugInfo)
is where my "defeatist attitude" comes from.
