Users like simple jumbo mono-package solutions, but they're not maintenable in the real world (and are usually a licensing trap). Comps complexity and number of packages/groups have not evolvded from a wish to make users or comps writers life difficult, but from the need to present lots of granular packages (engineering, maintainership and legal requirement) to people with lots of different interests (many targetted groups) It's always easy to present one-shot specialized solutions. The difficulty is scaling because separate maintenance of specialized overlapping package collections is not efficient). When you refuse to look at scaling problems you're missing the core of the problem. -- Nicolas Mailhot
