Hi Neil, sorry for late jump in the conversation.
We use the platform zip as a starting point for our platform based applications. We are building by source in a separate network, not connected to the internet. It is convenient have the platform as separate clear isolated zip, so we have not extract it from the IDE zip. It would be nice to keep the separated platform zip form.
