Yeah, not too much to them. but Tolkien was an author, and wouln't let a possibility slip. While I reverence his accomplishment with "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion," I realize that he may have been 'hedging his bets' when it come to the works published in his lifetime. The Stone Giants were just a possibility when he created them in the text of "The Hobbit" etc., but I have no doubt that he knew exactly where they fit into the scheme of Middle Earth. He just never got around to writing about them in more detail.
