Riiiight...but... my understanding was that the (2.3) version that would be able to load program-parts from disk would be designed to load UI-grabbing bits. I suppose it's possible to also load other things like drivers to access other kinds of file systems, or even weirder things like setting up a sampler bank in the AJFMR and triggering sounds via MIDI-like commands through the USB interface.
