That is the critical issue. Many of the micro-network stacks are
developed for extremely underpowered environment, e.g. almost no memory,
no space for code etc. That is often results in a number of critical
constraints and hacks in the code. While libsa is somewhat space
constrained, it is not extremely limited. boot(8) on x86 is almost 64KB.
Memory is normally not an issue.
