I was expecting that we'd do a single release, not dozens of them at the same time. :-) > In the end I see no real difference, you have to check the same amount of > files, being it in one package or in 50.

There's a big difference between one release with many components and many releases each with one component. Think about an end user that wants to download the release sources and build them. With this release structure they'd need to separately download almost 50 different packages, check all their signatures, and build them in the correct sequence that AFAIK is nowhere defined. With this release structure I don't think anyone in their right mind would care to download the sources and build them, and that's IMHO a bad thing. BR, Jukka Zitting
