It is not only about the target media size. The size matters when you 
need to boot some recovery media from you desktop on remote server via KVM.

And there is one thing I don't understand - why is the bootonly so 
large? I remember days when this fits to 50MB and now it is almost 235MB 
which renders it almost useless. For recoveries and remote installs I 
always use mfsbsd images (about 45MB).
