Sure, but let's face it, I don't think HP's top priority here is actually trying hard to make it small... :|

Yep, I surely agree :), the point is only on the use of reasonably , by allowing everyone to "grow" data (both when actually needed and when it is not) shifting everytime the range of "reasonable" we have today's monsters (web sites, OS's, you name it).

And surely I am (more than a bit) old-fashioned, but when you can use the Doom as a unit of measure, JFYI:

then it isn't reasonable anymore.
