because - it wastes space on mirrors (good, not that I am much concerned) - it needs extra work to adapt (and maintain) scripts used for uploading - it needs extra work to after download (i.e. unpack in correct place) and scripts (mkcd) must be adapted/maintained - it will force me to download the same thing twice. If anybody is going to do it, please do it outside of normal Mandrake tree. -andrej
