Hi Zuhair, One of the benefits of the Zend Framework is that it delivers both a hollistic piece of software which is well tested and released together and at the same time employs a "use-at-will architecture". So I think we deliver the best of both worlds. I would not want to break distribution into bits and pieces as I think it would reduce the value of shipping one piece of code that's easy to distribute which is fully tested and supported. It also allows you to do more structured upgrades from version to version where the main Zend Framework directory would just need upgrading (with an easy way to rollback). If you are really concerned about size of download/installation then nuking tests/ and locale/ will shrink it to about 5MB (~1.5 MB compressed). I doubt this size would really be an issue for anyone.
