I see. So that's already 28 gigabytes of HD space wasted. This is getting ridiculous.

It is ridiculous, but it's what we had to do to get the new version working. It also maximizes security and leaves open the possibility of having remote bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instances, etc.

That I could live with. Remote instance would be most useful so I could just dump the bitcoind (and the blockchain) to my server. Please tell more.

you can use a remote bitcoind already (with any armory version AFAIK):
mount the blockchain with NFS (for example)
expose RPC to public and limit to given ip (if you dont want that, no need for it) and use SSL on it (if this is possible with armory)
