Yes, I guess I overstated my case. :-) No binary files without
first making a strong case that they're essential and that they are
extremely unlikely to change once they've been checked in.
Personally, I'd be much happier with an outright ban on binaries in
the repository. But for a few exceptional cases, nobody has come up
with a solution that's any less bad.
