No, the size doesn't both me (actually, when I use outline-minor-mode,
I find it rather convenient that the size stays the same).  What
I don't like about it is that the position of the scrollbar for
small buffers gives me the impression that I'm barely at the middle
of the buffer even though I'm actually almost at the end already.
Often, the thumb is still around the middle of its course when
point-max is already displayed.

Maybe I should just install it and see if people start screaming ?
