There was informal discussion in the past to merge both into one single
package. No action yet but I think it's still a valid idea.

The Eclipse for Committers package is not (and never was) intended as being a
package just for "platform". It's a package intended for Eclipse committers
working on projects within the Eclipse infrastructure. The bare platform
missing essential things such as support for Git, Gerrit and Bugzilla.
It's actually not intended for self-hosted development of Platform UI. But I

https://bugs.eclipse.org/453575 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/453575> - this one is
for a nightly build. However, I think "nightly" in the world of EPP sort of
means aggregation of I-builds. It would be an aggregation of whatever projects
submitted to the common repo. I don't think you should point directly to the
Hudson job in the Platform doc. It's not a reliable piece of infrastructure.
That's why there is the bug. We need some automation to publish good update
sites / aggregations on a daily base.
