Just to have an opinion that differs from what others have said, I think it's perfectly reasonable given the amount of software that gets packed in there. Perhaps we should continue to support the old 8.0 version with just the binaries-no-installer.zip? IIRC, that one contains just the core software and not all the addons, which should then make it significantly easier to maintain? //Magnus
