Some extension of mc will make the size of its graph grow.
I personally don't care about the size, but others might. So:
should I follow my vim example and put those changes into mc-full
or should the default be an fully functional mc with all 2nd and
3rd level dependencies (which are not obvious as mc doesn't print
error messages)?
