git bundles could/should make self-hosting easier.

Being able to configure synonym (and spelling) lists would make
some searches more useful.

Might as well dogfood kernel stuff, too, given the overlap and

Building/testing userspace stuff is often the most
time-consuming, but necessary to ensure future compatibility.
