Hi, I'm with Helena, Glynn and Ben, I think that having many module in one package is better for users that do not have to take care of anything else. If I have GRASS installed, I can find anything there (without need of searching for additional modules that are not found in the manuals!).
And the criteria to add a module in the trunk should not be the frequency of usage, but the quality of the code: I would like to see in the trunk any module well written, without bug even if seldom used.
