I agree the bundle is bulky in Size, and doing our best to reduce its size
(discussion on* [carbon-dev]Shindig upgrading effort*) it was 20MB before
and we have managed to reduce it to 12MB.

About the component model; is there another mechanism you suggest to have
this feature to be integrated with the carbon-core ui, the objective of this
feature is, that any UI component developer can add a gadget simply from a
tag, like we add properties etc. if we make this a separate component IMO we
cannot get the model working.

Can you suggest the correct way in doing this if it violates the component
model.
