Yes, I think components  should not have been enable by default . But I'm the 
bug reporter for
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11452 , and my opinion is biased :)

Sounds like a good idea. On the other hand, just assuming 
CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=1  by default for archives (ZIP, TGZ) and produce
components only if explicitly  requested with CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=0 would 
be fine with me. I imagine, this is what many users
would want, but I might be mistaken.
