Hopefully they will think again before following this.

Why should all users get the files on their disks that are needed only for 
debugging and developing?
Disk-space might not be an issue with your state-of-the-art-all-inclusive 
machine, but not everyone has such a thing. Some have older machines still 
running with <20GB disk, some have netbooks with only small (but fast!) solid 
state disks.
Now why again should they install gigs of headers and debugging-symbols when 
they just need the libs and apps to run jack and assorted?
