If a company start using ofbiz for small applications using just the development framework, they can be very productive within a few weeks.
However, if they have to take on board the whole of ofbiz (i.e. the components) before they get started, that is a huge task that may put them off using ofbiz.
If ofbiz followed the modular approach using maven, companies could start using ofbiz core (+ probably party management), and then use more and more of the other components as they get more experienced.
They can already follow this approach and just ignore most of the components
even if they are there.

That is the approach I followed for my last client. But I also had to
go to extra effort to put an apache proxy in front of tomcat to prevent
access to the unwanted components. Also, having to unmount all the
unwanted components and creating a patch for this is starting to deviate
the framework user from what they want to do - develop applications, not
hacking code out from ofbiz.
