If modules are like cats, trying to package them in the release has felt like herding cats. Bundling them together adds a small convenience for the users, but is cumbersome on the release side. Initially when I took on the 2.0.5 release I thought it could be done without too much pain, but it takes resources which I think are better allocated elsewhere. > I am preparing the report for the board, and I need to have it ready in > 1-2 days, so let's just make sure we are happy with Fred's text (below) > and I'll submit it to the board.
