We found it to be about 32kb gzip+minified in our builds. I just dropped it from one of our apps, where it wasn't even used except in a legacy logging module. We replaced the ajax call with XHR. The other app we maintain has it as well, again only for the ajax method.

While it may be nice, for large production apps we'll take the filesize gains where we can find them.

I believe it's kind of sad that in the days of 2 TB USB sticks that 32kb matter.

Our product is used by all sorts of devices and resources. Many use it on super old hardware in different countries. 32kb isn't much, but when you're analyzing Time To Render metrics, you might be surprised how little is necessary to move the needle.

That said I don't expect a massive impact from this change, but removing unused code is going in the right direction.
