Or do suggest abandoning the other properties of the core, i.e. a minimal functional editor that can bootstrap the packages? I for my part would love to see a very light weight http client in the core so that XEmacs can fetch the packages itself without relying on external programs thus eliminating loads of problems (including most of the W32 issues).
