The modular design is still very much in place.  This is largely an 
issue of packaging.  As time goes on, there may well be a "core" Tango 
distribution with pluggable add-ons, as well as an inclusive 
distribution for those who prefer the monolithic style.  As a result, 
it's /possible/ that some of the recently announced packages may change 
locations to facilitate such packaging, if a more appropriate place can 
be found for them (all prior to 1.0, obviously).  Our goal for now is 
simply to make them available and to solicit feedback.
