None because it creates unneeded dependencies between unrelated libraries. The problem is that software packages can only grow or be replaced because of compatibility issues.
What if a part of a package (such as one syntax extension among many) becomes unmaintainable?
The whole package dies. I believe it's what happened to the Caml Development Kit (CDK). I would love to hear some opinions from the CDK folks.
