I'm calling for making Racket and package source transparently accessible, even though not actually bundled into distribution downloads... Racket has a research and education bent, and also attracts some of the more sophisticated developers. For all of these audiences, there's a tradition of

I'm not sure I follow on why binary packages make it easier to reduce dependencies between packages, or why binary packages offer faster installs. I'm guessing that binary packages prevent cyclic dependencies between packages, but it seems like there are many other options that still get this
