Please, how likely is it that a developer has a limited computer with limited disc space and a lot of -doc packages? Maybe we need a poll asking if the normal developer has a limited disc space or not? Anyway if a computer *does* have limited hard disc space then it most likely have limite CPU (like my old 166 MHz that collects dust in the corner).
