Martin,
I still use a floppy at this time, but I'm about to move to DOM.
I agree that we should avoid bloat. However, it seems to me we're
missing desired functionality by sticking to the 3.5" floppy minimum
requirement. Other projects (IPCop, etc.) are gaining users, and even
getting nominated for SF.net CCA.
From our project goals: Maintain as small a footprint as
possible for release/branch target installations.

It's been a long time since I've seen leaf mentioned in a magazine or
nominated for an award. :-(
