The problem is that we should work that way - make a package unloadable/loadable - since we are still fixing a lot the packages should be loaded when we do change (else they will rot). - but first I would go for the closure image
- TrueType and related classes in Multilingual-Display (are obsolete since we have FreeType, no?) - Services (does not seem to be used, except by a subclass in Polymorph) - Graphics-External-Ffenestri (why is this in the image??) - Compression (I think, does not need to be in the kernel) - Sound (dito)
- Traits-LocalSends and Traits-Requires (are not used) if unused then we should remove them
- MorphicExtras (I assume at least some of those could extracted) - ...?
I would put these in a repository so they can be loaded if needed. The extraction of some of these packages likely needs some work, but would be a first step towards a more modular kernel.
What do others think?
