I don't think that he is a corner case. As EFL has been designed first
for embedded many developers use it in a constrained environment. My
understanding of this cut out configure option is to first trim them
down as much as we can and then add later the one our developers need.
So basically if he say he doesn't want Ecore_Con for whatever reason
and this become a hard dependency in Ecore_Evas (current state of
affair). Then, we should accept a patch that add --disable-network and
would just disable all internal code of Ecore_Con by a dummy stub. The
rest of EFL will still think that Ecore_Con is there, it will just
always fail to connect or listen to anything.

That's just an example of where I think we should be going. We don't
have a terrificly big users and developers base, so we should not
follow the path of removing feature for the sake of it, like some
religious from another project do.
