      Hi Phil,

      I meant eliminating whole packages.

      Sometimes you think that it should be a better way even if you don't
know the way. I am not expert on OE and unfortunately I don't have any
proposal. I thought there may be or there should be a way to do but if
founders and experts don't agree or say current is the best way to go, then
everything is ok. May be later, when I learn OE good enough and if I figure
out a way I surely share with OE team :)
