Not at all. It's impossible to notice these things.

I'm all favor of small utilities but packaging unrelated utilities accordig to a "project" is at the border IMO. I can understand the reason "so small, so put all in one basket"; but functionally wise I'm not convinced. No doubt many of the utilities are excellent. It is still better to be able to to hand pick what one wants, and not to be forced to install something one doesn't need. That's how minimalistic systems can be built.
