Sure, it might bloat the files, especially for clothing makers like uzilite and As Shanim, and it might take longer to get the clothing out, but at least the only people who can complain are those who don't want all those morphs in the clothing too."
Adding a single morph, especially FBM, can double the size of the cr2 file, adding all of them can make a file that not every computer can handle. E.g.: our Barracuda outfit for Aiko3 was about 800Kb without any morphs. With 6 morphs it is about 5Mb - almost TEN TIMES bigger. And remember, that it is actually a tiny piece of cloth, with not many vertices to move around. So in the end it will not be that hard to create morphs but it will be almost impossible to actually USE the item. Michal 4blueyes"
Well, I was being sarcastic (maybe I should have used a smilie?) but it's nice to have a good example of just how big morphs can make things.
