Any reason why you need a non-gnu distro? I don't see how that would
make things suckless. I would wish for a perl-free world, but it would
probably not happen any time soon.

Anyway, it is easy to say that something is bloat, but when you cannot
dictate the development of hardware, don't expect things not to be
complicated.

I find rewriting existing software to make it smaller is seldomly a
productive way. Invent something different and novel in stead.
