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
