Why does anyone go searching for a srpm?  Everyone has their reasons.
You are assuming that the user has those tools.  What if the user is
on another system or  does not have net connectivity?  I will go back
to older versions of fedora to download srpms.  However, I usually
know the package name.

I do not believe that not having a separate srpm for this will be a
problem.  Anyone that needs it will probably figure it out.  I think
that having packages where there are multiple applications in one rpm
is more of a problem from the end user stand point.  The example that
sticks out my head is the kdeskd rpm.  I think that topic has already
been discussed so there is no need to go over it again.
