If you look at the top feature request for fossil I wouldn't say that's bloat or feature creep. It's a necessity for fossil to be considered in some settings.

While I *am* a Tcl aficionado, for me, one of the Fossil's selling
points is its self-containment and a minimal set of dependencies.

As I've written in another email, the single-file blessing of fossil needs to be contained. Anything not fulfilling that is a failure even before its conception. Static linking of the respective language library is a must, as is self-containment of its (standard) library. Users may choose to use the system installations for both, naturally, as is possible already right now for using the system sqlite. But I do not want, at all, to touch the single file blessing of fossil.
