Just a side note: our =E2=80=98git=E2=80=99 package uses outputs in a rathe= r unusual way. There are other packages that provide different features in different outputs, but the majority of multiple-output packages have the =E2=80=9Cstandard=E2=80=9D outputs: =E2=80=9Cdoc=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Cbin=E2= =80=9D, =E2=80=9Clib=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Cdebug=E2=80=9D. So maybe we could look at the =E2=80=98git=E2=80=99 package (can it be spli= t into several packages? would that help?) in addition to the UI, and also make sure the UI is optimized for the most frequent cases.
