[Q] Unneeded overhead?

["S.J.Chun"]

My last experience with my mvc only image was not successful. Maybe
this is related to lack of "graceful exception handling". However if those
serialization methods are not needed for core magma functionalities, how
about exclude them from core packages?

Anyway I'll try to install them. :-)

Magma is not depending upon these classes at all. It simply provides 
some methods for serializing these classes.

If you have not got those classes in the image then you dont need the 
methods for serializing them. If those classes are not present, simply 
load magma anyway, ignoring the warnings. It is rather silly for the 
Kernel Image Compatability Layer to provide these classes as dummies, 
but I seem to remember that the KernelImage doesnt have any facilities 
for handling exceptions gracefully
