What's the point? That the .Net framework is as big as a big RB app?
Don't understand, since you need to download the framework only once.
And this is something that we've needed in the RB world - a way to
deliver a generic RB framework that can be installed and made
available to all RB apps. While the total of an RB app would still
be as large as it is, what the customer sees in a download will be
much smaller on an application instance. I took a look at one of my
Mach-O UB RB tools and found that if the framework was globally
placed and published on the system, the resulting download from the
user perspective would be 7.5MB instead of 13MB (MBS and rbframework).
So, while the RB frameworks only add between 5.7MB and 10MB to each
app (unlike .NET's 20MB+), we wouldn't be populating users' systems
with potentially hundreds of copies of rbframework.dylib (at the least).
I've submitted a feature request:

If it is implemented, we will need to come up with a way to provide
both full and "framework-free" versions of apps, but we've overcome
far more difficult tasks :).
