I've heard that the issue is that those things really rely on a lot of code that is currently in the browser portion.. which is really the glue for it all.. I dont think it is an easy task to get rid of the browser, but keep the others. The current codebase really is not that large, and there is alot of work being done trying to optimize for performance/memory size and kill all that is not needed anymore, many of the bugs do not have patches ready, but are getting there, finding it is half the battle. -dman84
