Does anyone else find it bizarre that, in 2015, we've got such an 
active thread about saving a few gigs of space?

If one has a too-small SSD, it seems more-than-a-little strange to 
complain that building/installing a bunch of software packages 
consumes it.  Get a bigger drive.  Or smaller expectations.

Having archives where one can activate/deactivate in moments is an 
awesome feature.  Upgrade go bad?  Switch back in moments.  Need 
multiple versions of a package with conflicting variants, switch in 
seconds.  Etc.

It would be folly to remove such a fantastic feature to cater to a 
few space-constrained users.
