Well, you can. But i think , then it is hard to separate the goals of
what you want from your application
and what you want from package (or system) in general. This could lead
to inversion of your model,
where design of base packages tends to serve only for your application
and almost nothing else.
We have a lot of such kind of things in squeak, where a package which
should provide a generic interfaces,
concentrating on some obscure bit of functionality, which used only in
a single place of some dependent application/package.
