Compact flash for instance is economic in sizes of a few tens of : MB. There are many applications where you simply don't need a full system : or the storage required to hold it, and systems without rotating storage : can be a lot more reliable. The minimal system, uncompressed w/o pico, that boots the standard rc files w/o errors to a read only file system is about 12MB. 16MB gives you the network applications that most people want.
