    How can it be disirable to have two IRC packages but not two thumbnail
    packages?

Because the details of the situation are different.  rcirc and ERC
cater to very different groups of users, who want very different
things.  We don't see how any one program could be good for all of
them.

By contrast, thumbs and tumme do pretty much the same thing.
