Main breakup?



It strikes me that the 'main' part of the Debian distro is way too big.
The fact that every user who does an "apt-get update" is pulling well over
a meg each time one package in it changes can not be good.  It's a waist of
Debians server resources and it's certainly not swift over a 56k modem.

Is there a good reason for keeping all these packages in one section or is
it just that no one has thought about it before?
