Just to have an opinion that differs from what others have said, I think
it's perfectly reasonable given the amount of software that gets packed
in there.
Perhaps we should continue to support the old 8.0 version with just the
binaries-no-installer.zip? IIRC, that one contains just the core
software and not all the addons, which should then make it significantly
easier to maintain?
