Looks like React 0.14.6 is about 38k gzipped:
curl --silent --output /dev/null -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" --write-out "size_download=%{size_download}\n" https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/0.14.6/react.mi...
>> size_download=39542

Perhaps even more important, does library size still matter once dead-code elimination is an option in Webpack2?

Just take a look, how many libraries are written in ES6, clearly not much. So dead code Elimination only works if you have ES6 libs and that will take some time.

#8Where do the savings come from? I can't imagine that React.createClass() is all that much code. I'm guessing a lot of space saving comes from not doing PropTypes (which I find immensely useful) and not having a synthetic event system (meaning you can't test with TestUtils.Simulate.click()). What else is missing I wonder?

PropType checking is compiled out of the production version of React.
