For specific tasks, one does not use emacs in its entirety.  Although you're
raising a valid point, couldn't the rest of emacs be added on top of that ?
Would make it easier for some other groups of 6 guys to understand it and do
something with it, without needing years of experience managing all of it.

There would be some value in that.
