This sums up the situation nicely. But any given library developer has
only a certain amount of time, and it would be better IMHO if that
effort went into good documentation rather than breaking up into small
semi-independent packages.

Given that the total package discussed is not very large, it seems
better to release as-is;  any resource-constrained developer can
adapt, and if this becomes an important niche, then the optimization
of making it finely-grained makes sense.
