I am not sure yet (including from that discussion) if we decided about 
having separate source tarballs.  That was the original idea discussed 
at the first face-to-face meeting, but as everything became bundled in 
one source tree and tightly integrated that idea lost.

I also have a similar discussion about how to select what to build:

I agree we need to revisit this.
