EXACTLY right.
My feeling is, if someone is so affronted by the inclusion of the source, they can either make their own files or get them someplace else. The files donated to the MR library are, in a word,
DONATED. That means that we should appreciate them
however they appear, or whether or not we have some bug that makes us think that they're "bloated."
I see many files here or at PG, for that matter, that I'm less-than-enthralled by. Doesn't mean I get to impose my own standards on those kindly souls who've gone through all the trouble to make them available for my reading.
