OpenStreetMap being bloat and not suckless

[x64x2]

OpenStreetMap's dependency list is excessive, violating the KISS principle. this hinders adoption.

problem

• numerous and unreasonable dependencies
• unnecessary features for basic use cases

proposal

• simplify dependencies and focus on core functionality
• should run on CLI.

@x64x2 Almost nothing that anyone would want to do with OpenStreetMap data requires them to deploy their own copy of the OpenStreetMap website. Rather than creating an issue in the website repository here, perhaps it might be better to ask a question over at https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/help-and-support/7/none ? If you explain in more detail there what you're actually trying to do and what issues you're encountering, I'm sure that people would be delighted to help.

I have to say I'm not clear exactly what dependencies are being referred to here, or how a web site could "run on CLI" exactly.

Perhaps @x64x2 could provide a bit more information about what they have in mind?
