Agreed. The problem we seem to be missing here is that developers are
not even statistically significant in measuring "the common case."
Users using freebsd-update don't care (they aren't building the world).
Having the profiled libraries installed does not negatively impact
users. However, it requires extra effort for application developers
(not necessarily just kernel developers) who want to profile the
applications they are working on. I think application developers is a
larger portion of our userbase than you are allowing for.
However, that notwithstanding, profiled libraries are not actually
costing users anything (except for ones who build world by hand), but
removing them from default installs does remove functionality.
