Well, one suggestion would be to simply version Object.factory so that programs that don't need it and don't want the bloat can define a version which versions it out. The it won't pull in all of the TypeInfos, and you won't get that bloat. It's not exactly an ideal solution, but it's easy enough to do that it might be worth it to get rid of that bloat for the folks who can't afford it.
I do agree though that we should try and find a better way to fix the problem so that the situation is improved for everyone.
