If these bad practices are very common though, one should rather try to tackle them before going after 3% of the average size of websites these days. 74 kilobytes might have been a lot a few years ago, these days it is (unfortunately) mostly "noise". Particularly if it is not a real alternative but only a subset of the original functionality.
