    The question is, "What is truly minimal?"  Some might argue that LambdaCore
    is minimal.  Others posit that ZenMOO (http://www.zennet.com/) is minimal,
    but which version, since there are two?  Don't get me wrong, I agree with you,
    but perhaps the core could be released with several different "minimal"
    cores.  Shall we say that a core under 1K is minimal?  Then, we could have
    in the distribution:

    minimal.db(old)
    sort_of_minimal.db
    mostly_minimal.db
    the_latest_in_minimal_dbs.db

    Pavel?
