Memory requirements? Or hard-drive? Would this change impact on both?

Sorry I was ranting about a couple loosely related things (which have more to do with a general attitude of the industry) and thus was not clear.

What I meant to say was that I speak a lot with programmers who treat resources (be it computational, RAM, or disk space) as free and infinite.

This is indeed only about disk space (as far as I can tell). Although, their post does explain that the reason for the bloated build was to speed up loading times with duplication of data (if fact they quadrupled it even) because they were allegedly afraid of the loading times on older HDDs.
