I'd rather see fewer large packages than lots of smaller ones. It'll
be a lot easier for mailing lists to support users when they can ask
for a list of installed packages and get a few numbers back, rather
than 10's of thousands. Same goes for administering a network of
servers.
I just noticed:
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/goals/packages.cgi
so I guess it's already a part of the goals list.
