Ohw, that's by far the worst suggestion I could imagine...  So if you 
have a 250 MB piano and make 5 variations of it, you would end up 
having 1.25 GB of data???  Not a very nice idea.
And then you discover that the "C3 mf" sample has a small transient 
spike at the end which you'd like to edit out... but you now have to 
perform the same edit 5 times instead of only once...
IMO there's nothing wrong with having samples and "sample mapping 
files" (instruments).  I do agree though that EXS file management and 
esp. navigation could (and should) be improved massively.
