I'd appreciate it if people interested in the monolithic tarballs could
summarize their concerns so that it is easier to understand their
reasons.
So far, I can see these:
* Adding new packages (SRPMs or whatever) is slow in some distros;
* Fear that new tarballs will be released without proper instructions
or not following any criteria, so that creating packages and
following the dependencies gets harder.
