If someone is willing to do the work and not fsck things royally I don't 
see a big deal about it.  If nothing in system depends on it then it 
shouldn't be there, we can trim 250kb off of all our stages and 
liveCD's.  Embedded gains 250kb off of their stuff as well.  I just 
don't want to see giant h0rkage in the tree because the person doing the 
work didn't do a good enough job.  *mutters something about tree 
changesets*.
