    well, that's the same as the M$ people thought ten years back. "Size &
    price doesn't matter, so let's waste every Meg we could find."

    Doing it that way in every corner, you'll have a system which requires
    plenty of Gigs to install in a few years. A debug kernel by default
    would just be the beginning of a systematic waste.

    Why do you love BSD? Because it's different? Well, I love my beasty
    because it installs and runs in small to large size systems. And I love
    it because it's fast. If you blow up everything, your beasty will get
    slow, fat and ugly.

    Personally I would not care about a debugging kernel on my disk but the
    way poeple think (size doesn't matter, price doesn't matter) it's the
    very first step into the direction of blowing up everything - because
    size doesn't matter.

    Intel & Co will welcome you very friendly because going that way you'll
    always need the latest computer systems to run your beasty.
