I think I agree with you. We want to have more and more great apps in the future. And I´m not sure it is a good strategy to ship more and more in one huge monolithic blob. We can see at other open source projects that this doesn´t scale and wil lead into serious longterm problems. This would require a ton of coordination in feature development, QA, packaging, security and promotion if everything has to be ready and released at the same time. I would actually try to make the main ownCloud releases smaller but make the discovering, installing, updating and removing of apps easier. I hope this makes sense.
