no I mean, if you decide to use component to structure your own application, you must explicitly list the files and dependencies for each internal component in that application in its component.json. This doesn't sound like much, but it's overhead I don't want, especially because you often don't know that you've forgotten to do it until your build process is finished and your tests have run. I liked the idea at first, but the reality is that browserify accomplishes roughly the same thing without any of this manual work - it walks your `require()` tree instead, and it works with NPM which simply has more packages and more momentum. Also, source maps.
