Well, *Marc* is working on including less stuff; the rest of us don't
necessarily agree.  In particular I've got to re-incorporate any major
pieces that get removed from the core distribution, since people expect
to find those in the RPM set.  (In principle I suppose they could be
handled as independent packages with independent specfiles, but so far
the path of least resistance has been to keep 'em bundled together.)
