Truth be told, it's mostly for room to mod as many of the system icons as I can. But that shouldn't be all that much of a surprise coming from me...
So you keep on doing what you are doing, as I am liking the functionality a lot compared to all of the other ROM I've tried. Given all the limitations you have to run 6.5 and Rhodium, more space would be a nice to have, but it is not a 'need' to have.
