well, the desktop pattern is partly in the ROM, but the Finder doesn't 
really play with this at all.  But if you remove the finder, you remove 
all those important pieces of code, such as displaying finder suites, 
that may be important.  Plus, as Mr. Kurtz said, you lose the ability to 
load other applications.  Possibly, the ability to load and unload 
segments correctly as well...
