I hear what you're saying, and I'm not disagreeing, but... we're
almost 15 years into the 21st century, and certain features are
absolutely necessary now. Unicode text, the Carbon-to-Cocoa
refactoring, etc, are no longer nice-to-haves. I'd like some more
flexibility in what libraries are included in standalones in order to
cut down on the size of apps, and maybe that will come in time, but
I'd like more flexibility in where my tax dollars go, and I'm not
holding my breath for that one either.
