IIRC at least some of the motivation behind the current split had to do with separating out modules which aren't generally platform agnostic since platform specific stuff sometimes causes problems with downstream linux distro adoption/packaging. I.E. the "official" python modules should be expected to work on the full set of platforms that gmond works on.
