Thhis has practical advantages to do with traceability and security, and in-principle reasons to do with basic Open Source practice too. On the other side, there are no disadvantages.

I think so, along with scripting that generates the preprocessed file we use. It might be the case that there are some sleef files not used at all they could be omitted, but I'm not sure it would be useful, and from a traceability point of view it's probably best to grab it all, unless it's really huge
