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.
