That I can't answer for you.  Maybe it's borrowed from Redhat?  I think the
general trend has been away from huge packages like SUNWcsu, even in ON,
but I'm not sure what the current level of granularity buys you for GNOME.
I probably see more like a dozen packages, but certainly some consolidation
in the application arena would make sense to me.

Fine-grained granularity is nice, though, if you've got a decent way of
managing all that and you're a particularly anal, micromanaging sysadmin.  :)
