Well, for security, the size of it sort of does matter. When we start
talking about web browsers, we're talking about code in a hostile
environment. The big browsers have gotten themselves into a situation
where they are now so big that no one could possibly audit them. I
don't want a browser like that to be a bundled part of Emacs.
