I read it as a bit of a negative situation. So the reason for mentioning it is to shame AMD into doing a more correct or sane thing instead of spewing out enormous amounts of what is basically repetitive noise. Pointing out that enormity is important because source files need to be stored; interpreted, versioned and parsed by humans/IDE's. It has an externalised cost (but, then again, isn't capitalism all about externalising costs?)
