I agree that there are many data files that don't change at all : books, tactical exercices for example. But on the other hand : - some of Scid features depend on these, hence if someone installs only scid_base package, some functions will not work; - most if not all of us have high speed internet access, and to download 6 MB or 10 MB is nearly the same time (at least for me); - each release involves some work (Linux, windows, Pocket PC) and I am afraid that multiplying packages would mean extra work.
