I still say it is a non-existing problem, rather a stubborness.

I know, but if enforced, sf.net _will_ implode due to the sudden
increase of needless source packages, some may even be other 
sf.net projects.

This is insane!!!

Bah! again, nonsense!

It makes sense for the derivative kind of programs, those that require
tons and tons of other libs, for example MythTv, Mplayer or VideoLanClient.

But again, I still think we (Bering-uClibc) are exempt.
