see, i am a demo coder... that means, i am mostly dealing with async. (aka
'irq'-) loaders, since the kernal routines are of no use in this case.

however, i have to agree to your statement aslong as you are talking about
TOOLS... these should OFCOZ use the kernal routines, for the exact reasons
that you mentioned.... besides that, kernal i/o is pretty much 
'not professional' for anything else (games/demos) since it forbids almost
anything that makes the production decent ;) 

let it only be loading under i/o (beyond $d000 that is), and last not least
the slooooooooow (really not acceptable) loading times for ppl without
any fastload equipment.

well actually, there is no reason why it shouldnt... one could very well extend
the runtime and c-library so it wouldnt rely on a specific kernal. (its out
of the question though that it wouldnt really be a good idea in the case of
the c64)
