Just want to reiterate that this is false. You can not possibly find all
senders and implementors just by using the current Full image. There are
over 230 packages on SM right now. This means there are TONS of code
outside of the image as we speak. And that is how it always has been.

It was only the lucky few apps that got into the image that have been
saved from the code rot.
