hm, are you talking about making binary releases? or source releases?
I'm talking about the source releases of lsh.
I'm a software developer, a sysadmin, and a contributor to a distro (debian). No matter which of those three hats i'm wearing, i *strongly* prefer to have source releases broken out into separable components, rather than one monolithic tarball. I prefer this for system maintenance, for security, for clarity of API, and for ease of modification.
I'm not sure what the argument for monolithic source release is.
