Could you explain? Tango was built from the ground up to be completely
modular, so I'm not sure I understand the opinion that it's heavyweight.
One of the original design parameters was that it be as suitable for
kernel development as for application development, and I believe it's
accomplished this goal quite well.

Once const is settled, I think we'll begin to see more of the 2.0
