I dol think some of the components are sufficiently useful as
independent modules. I suppose it's a benefit/cost thing; you are more
than welcome (and you can quote this thread) to do rockspecs for
particular modules - remember than rockspecs understand Git references
and the url does not have to be an archive. But I don't feel like
spawning a large number of git repos, already drowning in them!
