Hey Dirkjan, I think we're only talking about OTP apps (snappy, ejson/jiffy, mochiweb) here. Would you want those as separate packages? For libraries (javascript, erlang, curl, icu) I totally agree, and I don't think we have any of those included in source tree today, nor would we be adding them. A+ Dave
