To me, it is mostly a real blocker for using it in some embedded Linux devices due to size constraints, otherwise I personally would be using it extensively.
I'm having a hard time imagining this Goldilocks embedded device that is simultaneously big enough to run Linux (so not an actual microcontroller), yet too small for a few megabytes worth of statically-linked libraries. Got an example?
