If next to every file, Github also listed its filesize, I would know exactly what file to begin looking at when I encountered a new repo (to a good approximation -- in any case, I would be able to intuit better decisions with a combination of filenames, the information in hypothetical README.md's, and filesizes than just READMEs and filenames alone..)

Maybe this doesn't scale or something? It's something I've felt necessary for a while though. Maybe their user testing has concluded otherwise?
