What about the attached diff to ByteCount.cc as part of fixing

That bug is a request by a community member to do something which I think is

utterly stupid. Why would we want to do that? And why would we rush ahead to

do it when there is one single person requesting it? Did we ask anybody
else?
Do we know what the majority of our user base thinks about it?

I would be highly confused if anything on my system starts to use KiB and
GiB... I know hardware vendors always did it... not out of lack of
knowledge, but the figures just sound better...
IF this ever get's enabled, please only with very sane and simple way to switch
to 'normal' display.

The 'standardization' went the wrong way in my opinion.
