Yes.

No, Fuel won't replace Monticello at all. They are different things.

Exactly. With Monticello right now you have to compile the sources.st, which
may be slow and even more you need the compiler. The idea is to experiment a
way of using Monticello to directly store binary/already compiled code.
This way, it may be faster for exporting/importing the code.
So....in summary, we will try to experiment to replace only a small part of
Monticello ;)
