Any play at all is enough to ensure that the full force of the pressure
plate is taken by the friction plate (ie clutch fully engaged).  A little
bit of play helps ensure that the TOB gets lifted away from the fingers
(ensuring no wear or noise from rubbing at that point).  Any more than that
is just wasted motion.

As long as you can get enough travel to ensure that the clutch is fully
released, you don't have too much freeplay, IMO.  (That said, my preference
is to have engagement relatively high, meaning little freeplay.  I actually
set mine tighter than the 0.1" spec.)
