Both sound like good ideas to me, though 1) concerns more to
deployers: do they want to have to install hundreds of megs of
software that might or might not be used by any Sugar activities they
get to use?

I think that deployers should be the ones to say what can go in the
platform and what not. But the more we have there, the easier it is
for us developers.
