Yes, I have voiced that concern several times myself. I personally do not even understand where all this fear of installing many packages comes from. I think it is because the ZCML is pulling in too many default registrations and people are afraid of those, which I understand. But to create new packages just because you do not want to use other parts of it is silly. Regards, Stephan -- Entrepreneur and Software Geek Google me.
