Is there any practical way we can measure the actual size of these files?

The mailing list always prepends the list name to the subject of posted 
messages.

A few other notes:

1) This patch should be sent to the openembedded-core at lists.openembedded.org 
mailing list rather than here. 

2) The YP bugzilla reference should be of the format [YOCTO #7541] .

3) The shortlog (first line of the commit message / subject) should be prefixed 
with the area/file the patch is changing i.e. for this one it should be  
"bootimg.bbclass: gracefully abort if rootfs.img gets to big".

Cheers,
Paul
