I can't speak for others who wish to rid their systems of systemd, but
personally I look for any excessive use of space on my HDD, despite it
being rather large. Since you brought it up, which packages can you
think of that most or all Gentoo boxes will have that take up more
considerable amounts of files or disk space? I'm honestly interested
in *anything* that lowers the disk usage of my OSes; to a point,
anyway. Supporting X or Y codec or feature in the kernel would be more
important than saving 50kB in the kernel binary, for instance.
