Interesting notion.
However, what happens when I produce one more file. This file would most
probably be unrelated to all others, so It would not be nice if people
would have to download a whole package when they want only one file from
it. Especially if they already have most of them.
Another issue as I already mentioned, I would prefer to have all packages
(mine and not) under the same logical tree. I don't really know what would
happen when I distribute w3c.jigsaw.personal as a zip file. Wouldn't that
conflict with official distribution zip file?
Alex.
