I thought the zendframework was to be released as a whole, and versioned/controlled in that sense.
I understand your rational behind it though, but i think (as a community) we should try to stick to the idea of code reales of the whole codebase in steps, lest we end up with "ZendFramework 1.01" reallly being a mix of stable and not-so-stable components.
Simple fix: nothing get published as a 'stable' package until the whole of ZF is considered stable; then all of the packages get pushed at once.
Too easy.
Also; as an end user who only really wants to use Zend_Search_Lucene; this solves my issues with downloading a fair bit of overhead I don't want.
