I would say that the motivation is to make it possible for  a developer to 
include a self-contained portion of sage in a separate project without 
having to make that project as large as a full Sage distribution.
 

An individual mathematician who only needs some portion of the sage library 
may install only his favorite distribution package.


As I have said so many times before, apparently to no avail, I strongly 
disagree with this point of view.  It is not reasonable to expect an 
individual mathematician, or student, to be able to decide which portions 
of Sage are needed, nor even to know which portions can be installed 
separately.  An individual who wants to use Sage should just install Sage.  
All of it.  And that installation should be very easy.  It should certainly 
not require deciding which portions of Sage might be needed in which 
contexts.
