i think there is another point.

if typo3 wants to grow (and i think it wants). it needs people who know
how to use it as admin, developer and user. some of the marketing gys
called that viral marketing.

many people learn on small hosting packges and few people want to learn
on localhost.

even worse if many people get annoyed because thy were not able to
install typo3 on their server the reputation of typo3 will decrease and
we will have to explain to our customers why we want to use such a
sensitive tool.

on the other hand that would make typo3 more exclusive :-)). but i doubt
that this is intended.

as an example i didn't work with zope yet because i had no server
available wich was powerfull enogh.

so i think the compatibility with samller servers is a key feature for a
growing comunity.
