If (b) isn't happening where the devs can see it (the public lists/forums) then it is, in effect, not happening. i.e. i disagree with that point - not with the others brought up - i won't argue their utility, but i will argue that they don't fit in "lite," given the multiple estimates given with regards to their development effort over the years. Many other products have them - use those. We don't need windowing functions taking up space on all the Android phones and embedded devices in the world (and those installations outnumber yours and mine by many times over).
