Actually, bigfoot.sty was moved from tl-humanities to tl-latex-extra:
That even makes sense since footnotes are not only interesting in
humanities, even if these disciplines tend to have more and more
complicated footnotes. But in any case, it shows how difficult it is to
properly split parts of tl-latex-* out into a separate package.
