...Define bloat.

Because if you say thAt a Beyond Linux From Scratch built system with a package manager integrated is bloated, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact there is a certain minimum footprint symbol table wise to provide a complete interface to the hardware for the user.

Anything using a cloud suite like Google or Azure, I assure you, is fundamentally not unbloated.
