I don't understand this claim.  ASLO is seeing literally millions of
downloads from OLPC deployments.  Probably 99% of ASLO traffic is from
OLPC's users.

As for the rest... I think .xo bundles should be absolutely free of binary
executables, or anything else that depends on more than the Sugar
Platform.  We should then introduce a different (better!) bundle format
that supports such dependencies, based on 0bundle, 0install, etc.  As a
temporary codename, call it ".x0".
