Is it the problem with those additional ~20MiB?
If it's about not fitting anymore on "minimal" release media - then it's not 
the problem - it will still be able to fit on ~128MB memory sticks and 3,5" 
~210MB cd's. And if it's going to make Gentoo accessible for those handicapped 
in some way - why not? (Not sure how they actually manage to set up Gentoo 
with "no monitor" - even with speech engine on terminal - I just couldn't - 
most respect for them).
