I'm a bit curious - why would it be more work for devs? Obviously splitting the packages would take a bit of work, but with smaller and more finely grained packages if you were installing a package from the network and there was less to download and install then wouldn't install and upgrade times *decrease* rather than increase?
And if there were more packages, then wouldn't it be easier to update and test a smaller with more defined boundaries and functionality than a bigger and more sprawling package? Just curious...
