it was at one time because that was the only way to have the software be able to run on multiple platforms with widely differing serial port methodologies... there was also a video fossil (aka VFOSSIL) used due to differing video methodologies... MSG is also documented and not required...
i actually liked the idea of having the message base formats and detailed information on how they worked in the library but... that discussion was back when odin, colin or scott were the chair... i'm fairly sure it was before scott... i don't have a problem adding them to the /reference/ library... it is a bit late in the game, though...
