I would suspect that would be rather large because of the USB
firmware, but if you have the room why not.

Most boot-loaders have been designed to squeeze into the least
amount of flash. Also not that the boot-loader fuse must be
checked or programmed unlike what Darren Hutchinson says in his
webpage.

All of my boards just have a 4 or 6 pin header with the USART pin
and power, I can then plug in anything, USB or RS323 or even ethernet
dongles to communicate with the chip. No real estate taken.
