We had that years ago and ended up with 200+ packages. Now we
would likely end up with 400+. And users did complain about that:
For them it was not visible what all the packages were good for.

You can still see remains of that era in the spec files, e.g.:

Provides:       yast2-lib-sequencer
Provides:       yast2-agent-fdisk yast2-agent-fdisk-devel
Provides:       yast2-config-environment
Provides:       yast2-ui-qt
