Well not really.  If all they are intended to be is a source of JARs for 
development purposes than thats fine (but it would be useful to be told).

Its only if they are intended to be all of glassfish that there is a bug.

Also if there is a plan in place to provide the rest, then raising a bug is
just noise.  

For this reason I thought that a discussion on the list was the best starting
point.
