split up to the maximum possible (> 20% of the packages I have on my
machine now are texlive packages, just because i use latex beamer from
time to time...)
This is an argument that I have seen repetitively in this list.
In my point of view the texlive split is similar to the perl-* or python-* packages.
In this case texlive is a meta-package (distribution) that has most of the (la)tex
packages that can be shipped in Fedora.
To propose just a few texlive packages is similar to to have a few meta-packages called
perl-extras or python-extras, with python-full, or perl-network. If this scheme does not
make sense to python, or perl, or any other language why does it makes sense to apply it
to latex packages?
