If they do decide to include the database they better hope it compresses well. My data directory for bitcoin is at 1.8GB and growing. That's only with 131340 blocks AND an empty wallet that has not yet made any transactions. Who knows how big it will be in five years  Shocked

That's odd.  Mine is a bit under 450 MB, and that includes some relatively large logfiles as well.
