I am very much in favor of a single download per environment. So that =
users don't have to hunt for the pieces they need. They get all in one =
file. So I don't see why we should change our current practice, and in =
fact think it is quite elegant. Haven't seen a single complaint about =
it.

Ok, we need a separate cayenne-src.tar.gz for reasons unrelated to the =
end users, but why change anything else?
