I asked that a while ago and the common opinion was that in general binaries 
should not be stripped (Dr. Konqui would no longer provide usefull 
tracebacks).

Personally I would like stripped binaries. It is quite rare that apps that 
crash produce a usefull traceback; and who would like to analyze them? There 
are too many binary versions of KDE around.

Most bugs do not crash applications - they simple cause wrong behaviour and 
this would not be influenced by stripped files.

Even worse - I heard some people say that SuSE patched the Linux loader to 
pre-read the whole binary - which would be horrible if a binary would not be 
stripped. I still hope that I misunderstood something.
