It's not really a matter of vagueness on Debian's part, but politeness
on the sender's part.
It's easy to forget that not everyone has an always on, unlimited
download, internet account. For those people still on dial up, with
limited data allowances, we should avoid attachments. Especially large
ones.
Personally, I'm dismayed that so many lists now allow multiple megabyte
attachments to be sent to their lists. Quite often, I see 80-90kbyte
(and more) images that show an error requester with text that could be
typed out in 60 characters or less. There's no need for that image to
be sent.
(sweeping generalisation coming)
People that upload such images are lazy, arrogant, and suffer
from a massive sense of entitlement.
