Let me redirect the topic a bit. I've been considering unbundling gregmisc. The pro would be that people would find the component packages (i.e. gdata) more easily. The con is that the packages have a number of interdependencies, so you pretty much will need to get most of them anyway.
As the latest gregmisc bundle contains a gregmisc package that is just a stub that depends on and loads the individual packages, there would still be a gregmisc object.
