Hi, I generally support the idea of a cleaner structure. However, I find the main list hardly complete. Some packages I will add to the main are * linear-algebra * miscellaneous * general * geometry * specfun * quaternions and I am not sure if struct and strings should be demoted to "extra". MTC -- M.
