Right. The only reason for splitting the distribution is to cater to the
fictitious crowd with "bandwidth problems" or those that explicitly know
that they don't need the rest. There will still be a canonical full
tarball with everything, or at least I will not put my name to something
that abolishes it. In fact, I didn't like the idea of the split tarballs
in the first place, I'm merely changing the split to something more
useful.
