What I just don't understand is why so much argument over a

working on this problem just because their work requires a tiny
annotation in each binary seems weird.
Well, my point is that the bar for adding any kind of annotation to *all*
ELF binaries in the distribution needs to be set much higher. We already
have MiniDebugInfo, Annobin, and now this, when will this ever stop? When
the executables will contain more annotations than code? tiny+tiny+tiny+…
adds up quickly (and MiniDebugInfo and Annobin are not so tiny – I have
complained about those back when they were introduced and still want them
removed ASAP).
