Well, maybe I should explain my plan...

The ifiles stuff needs a lot of features that make the initng core big,
while with the new service_file format we can move most of the
functionality out of the core, and remove the rest.

Also we will reimplement active_db in a tree-like way, and maybe use
hashes...

That will make the core very fast, and compact.

I hope that after 0.7 we could make our own shell, and maybe we can
implement a cache to make it faster ;).
