Tcl is relatively big (comparing Then come up with a better way of having something in the "base" system like the new installer (which is TCL based) and the new package system (which is TCL based) somehow get the bits they need during a world build, assuming that the user may or may not have the ports collection on their machine (which is a reasonable assumption). I'm more than a little tired of the armchair generals jumping up and down about stuff like this only to go completely silent when the subject comes up of what to do instead. Either provide an alternative mechansim, and I'm talking deeds-not-words material here, or accept what's done instead with good grace and the wisdom to keep your mouth shut about something you're not personally willing to change. - Jordan
