Yes it's a good idea to have it modular and minimalistic, so everyone
can choose which features are relevant for him.
Also ipkg could have web frontend.
Bluetooth is very nice feature, could be used also as another network
device (maybe for accessing the console from mobile phone ?) but it's a
geek-only feature mostly. BT is far too slow to use it for regular
printing.
