It's at least 2 now: texlive (the stuff that changes pretty infrequently, noarch, not installed widely). and texlive-base (the stuff that does change often, archfull, installed widely). CTAN packages are pretty interrelated, so it makes sense to have them in one place, and there aren't too many people interested in maintaining it either. So, really barring hundreds of new maintainers showing up interested in working on it I think what we have now makes the most sense. kevin
