None because it creates unneeded dependencies between unrelated 
libraries.
The problem is that software packages can only grow or be replaced 
because of compatibility issues.

What if a part of a package (such as one syntax extension among many) 
becomes unmaintainable?
The whole package dies.

I believe it's what happened to the Caml Development Kit (CDK).
I would love to hear some opinions from the CDK folks.
