And I understand that point. My own opinion, is that fewer packages, makes
for better "clearness" for our users, when there isnt a noticable benefit from
splitting them up into mulitple.
I cant see us ever splitting ALL our packages up into
CSWmain  vs CSWmain-doc

While it would be "consistent", it would also be insane overkill, in
my opinion :)
So for similar reasoning, I dont think we should split up ALL packages to be
CSWmain vs CSWmain-devel

Just in the cases where there is actual benefit.
