decided addcomputed will not support annex.smallfiles

If it did, recompute would need to somehow support recomputing
non-annexed files.

And, annex.smallfiles is typically used for configuration files or
source code kind of things, where the user doesn't want it to be an
annexed file. Computed artifacts are not likely that kind of thing.

Also, git-annex importfeed is an example of something that does support
annex.addunlocked, but does not support annex.smallfiles.

Or it could build a DAG and traverse it, but building a DAG of a large
directory tree has its own problems.
* Should addcomputed honor annex.smallfiles? That would seem to imply
that recompute should also support recomputing non-annexed files.
Otherwise, adding a file and then recomputing it would vary in
what the content of the file is, depending on annex.smallfiles setting.
