Exactly. If two things are tied-together, there are more things
involved. If they are separate, complexity is actually reduced.
We're talking about slightly different things, I think. When there are
real dependencies, I don't mind packaging. It's a sane choice in
absence of package management. But many packages have artificial
dependencies that wouldn't have to exist.
I don't know about your package, so I don't want to make any
assumptions. But, for example, ECB can only reasonably used with the
included (brain-dead) window management. There is no way to just use
the (excellent) class browser. That's a serious restriction...
It seems that winsize is optional, as well as separately usable. I don't
mind that they're in the same zip file. I just think that bundling
generally increases the risk that they needlessly get tangled together.
I hope that doesn't happen.
regards,
Nikolaj Schumacher
