Stef has done work to cleanup the Javascript dependencies of Cockpit.
Broadly these fall into two categories:

* Development dependencies: only used while developing Cockpit, not
   even used while building the tarball. These are node_modules

* Runtime dependencies: used while Cockpit is running and built
   into the various Cockpit packages. These are bower_components

The latter should be replaceable at build-time. The cleanup work moves
in this direction, but it's not complete yet.

There's lots of other work in progress. You can see it here in the
Design and Implementation columns:
