On my system rc.conf is 716 B. The three files (hostname 8 B, vconsole.conf 47 B, and locale.conf 30 B) take up less space. Granted at the moment it's more but that will be offset when the move to systemd can be completed.
You don't really try to argue about a few bytes like this, do you? With the default block size of 4K (for ext4), this doesn't matter anyway.
Though your(Karol) right, that a few bytes doesn't matter in the days of TB+ hard drives, it might be something worth looking at (how much more space will systemd use/save). And on some systems (mostly older) it may matter.
I think the biggest problems here are "perception", resistance to change
Yes, this is most definitely the problem. But this is something coming along with every change, so unless there are any technical reasons against the current movement, I don't care that much about these complains.
