I did make crunch slightly less insane in 1.3.0 (uploaded a few days ago) by 
adding deduplication support.  This dropped mirage-decks (which has a lot of 
copied images across presentations) to about 15MB from 75MB.

But yeah, things like my personal website aren't practical without moving to 
FAT.  We could have a deployment script that has a data/ directory from which 
it builds the FAT image, and kernels/ directory from which it grabs the 
unikernel...
