If you think about maintaining our code, smaller tools are easier to modify and refactor. I'm already getting flak from people because our tools are complicated. It's also easier to define a sane set of command line flags if one tool does one thing. Imagine trying to get --help from a tool that does everything. Every possible option that any subcommand might take would appear in this nonsensical soup of unrelatedness. The pkgdb tool already shows signs of this problem. I'm guessing your intention is to make it easier for humans to know what tools are available and which one to use. Maybe there's a better way of improving findability. For example, a tool naming convention or a common location.
