Absolutely. But trying to be all things to all men leads to bloat.
You're not seriously trying to tell us that X11 - which was designed to run, and ran,
on machines older than some people subscribed to this list - is "bloated"?
Well, X.org certainly is. There are X implementations that don't
try to be all things to all people that aren't.
The modern standard is pretty thick, too; it's like saying that
the modern C++ standard is bloated. Just because it's bloated
doesn't mean you can't implement something that runs fast on small
or old hardware, it just means you need to work with a subset.
