It's Kickstart that's in the ROMs. Kickstart is basically the kernel
plus some resident drivers, libraries and commands, some of which are
patched or replaced by new ones in 3.5.
Workbench is merely the GUI. What about datatypes, print drivers,
libraries, and the filesystem? Many people don't even use Workbench, but
they still use those elements of the OS.
