So it is allready an hybrid system...
I will had that removing add-on setup stuff from the 1st floppy doesn't lead to
a large amount of space. You gain the ADD-ONS.fun, maybe some files in /etc ?
Some .fun files, but not a lot of, and that's all.
Putting something in the first sectors of the add-on disk, and the add-ons
specific .fun on the add-on disk could become usefull if the number of add-ons
and the ressources that can be setup on the disk were also growing. In my own
opinion, this problem is more a problem of scalability.

I agree with that.
I don't think that implementing such a mechanism changes radically mu's design.
in my opinion the add-on centric view doesn't lead to a different design, only a
different location for setup funs and some info messages, and a way to
automatically link files in /setup dir and in /usr/addon/setup.
A list of all ressources, even those located on the add-ons can reside on the
first floppy, for the boot sequence, and maybe dependance checking.
