Correct.

Furthermore, rebuilding and distributing a large number of large binaries every time a vulnerability is fixed is harmful!

- It encourage users to delay security updates. Hundreds of millions in the world have slow or expensive or capped Internet connectivity.

- Makes the distribution unsuitable for many embedded/IoT/industrial/old devices with very limited storage

- It gives the impression that the distribution is bloated.
