I like "flat pack" packages.  They're kind of like an upside down DIP.
Are you thinking of low costs by using old parts?
Can you get any crossovers done with lead bending of upside down packages?
Do you get this kind of product assembled by sending to a far off land for hand-asembly?
I'm not seeing how the cost would be automatically way down...
