That makes sense to me: People who need a smaller version of libwireshark have
to compile the code themselves.
I am using a number of the obscure protocols and I consider it absolutely
essential that in the default version which we're shipping, all protocols are
included.
As of today, I can send captures of rarely used protocols to others and they
can install the standard version and open my files.
