My only real concern with breaking out into subpackages is the additional
dependencies that will be created that aren't currently in Fedora, some of which
may never be.  For example, the Kerberos, SAP, vpopmail and MDB (not MDB2)
containers.  The required plugins for these may FOSS, maybe not.  In any case, I
don't have the time nor personal need to package those pieces adequately for
inclusion and if that holds up the package from being included for others, that
doesn't seem like a great trade-off.  The pieces that can be sub-packaged so as
to satisfy their requirements can be handled easily, though those sub-pkgs will
only have 1-2 files each but those containers that can't be resolved are the
real issue for me.  I can simply include them in the main package and it's left
as an exercise for the user to fill in the missing pieces as required, or they
can be neutered out of the package entirely and require end-users to make their
own sub-packages or to pull in the missing files to satisfy their needs.  Those
two options seem rather silly to me.

Whats the preference?
