If we move everything for which it is possible to not use it, we can
split our stuff up in at least a zillion packages.

Let's compare it with the jre, or with tomcat or so. They are stuffed
with classes I can do without, and I'm glad that I don't have to install
an aditional package for every feature I could also have done without
before that point.

It's good that we break up mmbase in modular pieces, but we should not
exaggerate, and that we should not use the mere argument that we can 'do
without' a certain class, because then I fear there will be no end to
it....
