Thank you for this list. I still don't see why you would name these distributions as you do, and why you collect them as you do. For example, as far as I know, symmetrica is currently essentially only used by symmetric functions, Schubert polynomials. So, if symmetrica is such a burden to install, why would you want to install it if you don't need them?
On the other hand, combinatorial species will, after this summer, heavily depend on gap. Does this mean that you would want to move this part into sage-groups? Apart from the strange naming, I don't think that it will make anybody happy if dependencies change frequently.
