Sure there is, detecting dependencies is a fine thing at the first 
installation or after a hardware or software upgrade, but completely 
needless for day to day use.

I don't like to waste storage for unneeded things. I'd rather use that 
space for a nice user interface.

Let's just see, commercial equipment comes with all this and between 4 
and 16 MB storage only. Also most of the time it has integrated firmware 
upgrade options. I agree, it is by far not as flexible as LEAF, but it 
should also be our goal to be KISS for the user. Upgrade has ben written 
with this goal.

cheers
