This is why many products fail, they want to make everybody happy and blow their system to a heavy weight loser. Switching on/off some function would be beneficial for everyone.

I would like to expand on this idea by saying that WP itself should be as small as possible and after installation offer users a wizard type interface to pick which core tools are needed. The revision tracking is (as you point out) a great example of an element of WP that would be better left up to each user.

Glad you are a happy WPEngineer Reader :) But the text in the sidebar and comment area looks normal, maybe it was a one time thing when you load it. Let us know if it still showing up in larger text.

Also with the latest addition of the WP revisions in the core, I agree on the amount of unnecessary data being stored in the database for especially for some people who use it as a page based CMS and don't necessarily know all that much about web development and how the system works except how to go in and edit their pages. I have plenty of clients who don't fully understand WP but are very happy that it is pretty easy for them to go in and manage their content themselves. I believe this core "plugin" should possibly be somewhere in the settings to turn on or off. Also, I didn't know if you noticed but this page has much larger text in the sidebar and comments area then your other posts. -Happy WP Engineer Reader Great article, I agree with the fact that the plugin repository is a great place for people to develop and work their skills into the WordPress community as well as it shows how active the community is with each other.
