The generic-abi thread has gone into broader subjects of the benefits and desireability of the work. I'm willing to take it as given that the encoded size of pure-relative address relocs (i.e. R_*_RELATIVE equivalents)--ultimately the RODATA segment size of a given ET_DYN file--as sole metric is a worthy goal and the ballpark savings ratios we're seeing are worth committing to a new ABI.
