+1 for keeping the size small and for using P2 properly. Nuwan, aren't we already using the dashboard component in (almost) all products already? If so this is not a net increase in size but simply enabling gadgets to be used in any page without having to have the entire page be full of gadgets isn't it? If so that seems like a nice improvement for me.
In any case, if the feature is available for anyone interested to use and people use it then we can look at whether we want to have it in the core. Azeez, would it also make sense to look at having 2 core variations- one for servers which want a console and one for pure runtime servers? For example AS worker nodes don't need any of these bundles ... so once we get to the bundle pool + startup by installing what's needed mode the size will become minified automatically. Sanjiva.
