So you are talking about 1.5 MBytes less bandwidth, which is nothing compared to the cost of doing a full install over the net. Yah, yah, /sbin too... but you get the idea.

Many freebsd users (me for one) are still living on a modem, where even one bump of 1.5 meg is a significant issue...

Remember that the issue we're talking about is security
updates, not full system upgrades.  "Everyone" would want
the security updates, even if they're on a slow link.
