Well, there's no reason to go make it huge, per se, but the original reason 
for constraining mfsroot's crunch was that mfsroot.gz had to fit on a single 
1.44 MB floppy and it doesn't have to do that anymore, so it's ok if you just 
want to add a new program and grow the crunch by a few 10k or a few 100k.
