That’s okay if they’re not too big. How big are they?

Apparent size will usually vary between something like 10kB to ~300kB compressed.

I'm essentially the one that removed most of these USE=examples on coinor-* because they were just small files not really any different than a few unconditional docs (that are sometimes bigger), don't need building either.

Kind of thing that I feel is better off stopped through either FEATURES=nodoc or install mask if really don't want them. Most USE=examples in the tree were added quite long ago.

What if I want doc but no examples?
A good idea is to stop installing from now on examples that needs to be built (like .c)

Then the 2nd bit I said, install mask examples/

And they don't need to be built, these examples are essentially documentation as reference used to write your own code.
