I think the assumption that smaller is better is a fair one, and as you contribute so much to the front-end of Koha, I can definitely appreciate you wanting to make whatever performance improvements you can where you can. I agree that the speed of the interface is a higher priority than the ease of the developers' workflow.
If you're happy to move forward on a Bootstrap upgrade, I think that's great. As a developer that does bits and pieces on the front and back, I'd appreciate a clearer picture of what's in our version of Bootstrap and what isn't, but I'm not going to make a fuss. For example, the .text-success class that sparked my original email is so trivial. I think the Bootstrap we have had has been great, but if it can be clearer what we have access to and what we don't, that would be even better.
