`profile_path` property in /person/{id}

Is there any reason not to include the entire "profile" instead of just the path in the response to this endpoint? I need the dimensions of an image before I can display it in my app so I'll always have to make that extra call to /person/{id}/images. Likewise for Movies and posters/backdrops.

Hi danieldkim,
The primary reason is to just keep responses as light as possible. We do not have plans on changing this at this time.
Cheers.
