That was my first thought when I saw that mess: give up also on
distributing smaller packages, and dump the current distributions that
are used as sanity checks. (Given that I usually end up in long
threads that are a result of breaking these dependencies, I'd
certainly like that.)
But I still think that giving up on any organization will only make
things worse, and I don't want that to happen.
