And busybox really needs cpio if I'm going to make initramfs images for use

I'm not doing much, I doubt even 5% of busybox is my code, and I think my 
contributions to uclibc have been at most bug reports.

Didn't you notice that an important part of open source development is forking 
a big bloated project (or more often starting over) to make a smaller and 
simpler version?  How do you think mozilla->galeon->firefox happened?  Or 
dropbear?  Or tcc?
