My vision is that Pike-modules wouldn't exist at all... if you wanted all of the modules, you could either start with Pike-full-7.6.tar.gz, which is pike plus all of the modules (similar to the way pike is currently distributed), or you could start with Pike-core-7.6.tar.gz or Pike-7.6.tar.gz, which would be the middle of the road that we've been batting around, with some of the more esoteric modules removed, and use monger to add the rest in...

My idea of a point would be to make it possible to have different release cycles of modules and the main pike, not to make the distribution smaller.
How about something like GCC's distribution, where you have
Pike-7.6.tar.gz Pike-core-7.6.tar.gz Pike-modules-7.6.tar.gz
, where the first file is everything, the second would be just enough to build pike itself, and the third is the rest of the modules?
