libc seems much more substantial, maybe we can split the difference and call it "youmightnodneedstdio.com", although that sounds much less pithy.

I still wouldn't be so sure about that ratio. The people decrying the printf family of functions are often targeting small statically linked binaries. Where a few kb shaved off might be a bigger chunk than 30kb are for your usual multi-megabyte front page of today's web.




People who target tiny static binaries are by far in the minority of libc users.
