The part I'm particularly impressed with is what they determined was better to leave out ( https://github.com/InitWare/InitWare/wiki/Dropped-components ), especially the crypto and DNS portions which they quite reasonably determined they were insufficiently skilled to maintain (and modules that could be catastrophically damaging if you got them wrong). That's simply ample prudence and speaks well of the project.

I too appreciated that they readily stepped back from reinventing a bunch of wheels. Doing it with humility adds a bit of polish to their project.
