All the _fmt_plug.c files you don't need can be moved somewhere else
(e.g., into a subdir of src), and you get a reduced binary.
(There have been a few bugs in the past when you did that, but I think
they were all fixed.)
Cleaning up dynamic.conf doesn't help too much, because just 31 out of
168 dynamic formats are defined in dynamic.conf

Yes, I think so.
One reason is better test coverage.
The other is that many users would just assume a format isn't supported
if it is not enabled by default.
