Sure, no problem. Although I fail to see its importance. Google, Amazon, Ebay, etc. -- none has a "Show all" option, at most a "Show XYZ per page" option. Why would it be useful, ever, to see 7000 packages listed on a single webpage? The only thing I can come up with is "to search through them" -- but not having to do that was in a sense the whole point behind overhauling the PDB, wasn't it?
