I would rather the extra files be distributed with the bundle for new users. That is the target audience for the nightly builds. I'm still seeing a lot of help requests by users about missing libraries and documentation and their configuration. I would rather error on the side of caution in this regard. I know it's a nuisance for us kicad experts to have to download these large files for testing but I really want the installation of kicad to be as simple as possible for the new user. Us old pros will just have to suck it up for now.
