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.
