Reduce the size of the library / give more control over custom builds
The library is getting pretty big - lots of great features, but still big.  I would love to see the team take some time and offer more options to reduce the size of the ALL and CUSTOM builds.  Perhaps look to drop old browser support and do a pass on tightening things up.  Set a goal for the team to reduce the library size by 10%.

Thanks for the idea.

The good news is we plan to remove the support for IE7 in the second half of 2015, which will reduce the css and js of the library.

For more control over the combined js file you can use our grunt build definitions as explained in this section of the docs: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/install/custom#use-grunt-to-build-a-custom-script

Update: IE7 support is discontinued, starting Q3 2015.

In general, it would be great if Kendo components were fully modularized. Right now we can only get the script portions to be modular (so adding one Kendo component to a page does not bring in all Kendo component scripts). However, the styles are all combined into one file (kendo.common.less), so adding one component to a page inevitably brings in the styles for all components (a 255KB file). Instead, the dependency management should allow each component to list which specific stylesheets it requires.

We support Safari on Mac only. 

As for IE8, we would gladly add it to the list of not supported browsers...but Microsoft commit to support it for a few more years, and as an "enterprise" mode in IE11. There are quite a few big companies which will continue to use it due to this reason, hence we'll have to stick with it for some time.

Can you add ie8 and old safaris to the list?  kind of like jquery?  it seems common to have an evergreen and compatible versions these days.

I dint know about the grunt script.  Thanks.
