I asked for opinions, not questions ;-)

I am on the fence, but slightly in favor of dropping it.

I suspect some scripts will get unexpectedly hurt, just like we had
to patch cvsimport.  Among the human users who deeply care about the
output between "kilobytes" and "KiB", nobody would want "684322 KiB"
the "kibibytes" topic would give; people who care will likely to use
"-H" to obtain "668.28 MiB" instead.
