I do not understand what you are saying. Don't we make progress?

For the moment we want to create a **stable** and robust image. After  
that people can really try to remove packages. You know very well  
that this is a difficult task. So we will remove FFI. I will  
certainly have a look at other packages that can be easily removed.
Now do not hesitate to participate, we cannot harvest all the fixes  
as we did alone and shrink the image....
and more....
I think that smart people understand the value of what we have been  
doing over the last year. I would have loved to do more but so far  
this is what we could.
