Ah... so, someday you will notice that your log files use hundred of megabytes and they do not rotate. Or that some fonts do not work correctly. Or that your tmp directories are full. Or...
Ok, it's your machine. But don't complain later.
As I like to say, after deleting some element of your computer's operating system because it offended you, go out to your car, open the hood and select a part, say, one whose shape bothers you, and rip it out. Doing that would rightly seem absurd to people, yet they'll do the equivalent to their computers with hardly a second thought. It's hard enough to make computers work well without having them sabotaged by their owners!
