Honestly, can this decision to split the package be explained a bit more? I feel like we've gone a little overboard on doing some of these splits. Saving 405K from a package (installed, while only 80K on the download!) seems silly for the number of "where did my glx* tools go" and "I installed mesa but don't have glx*" questions that are going to arise now, especially from long-time Arch users. -Dan
