Data such this can be very useful to scientist but the main distribution
is already too large (IMO).
What about creating specialized distributions or add-on CDs containing
this and similar data (such as star database)?
(That is, scientific tools remain in the main distribution, including small
databases, but the full ones are only put in 'scientific' CDs).
