I can see how these patches are very logical avenue to grab only
on-disk footprint for large number of objects, but among the type,
payload size and on-disk footprint, I find it highly narrow niche
that a real user or script is interested _only_ in on-disk footprint
without even worrying about the type of object.

I tend to agree, especially eyeballing the result of 7/7.

Thanks.
