There's been talk on the XEmacs lists of splitting the Gnus package
into a main package + 1 or more sub-packages [1]. That way, other
packages that have a small dependence on Gnus could require one or
more of these "sub-packages" instead of requiring the whole world and
half of the moon. [2] :-)
Footnotes:
[1] They'd be packages in their own right, I'm only calling them
"sub-packages" to help get my point across.
[2] Gnus is _bigger_ than the world!
