Isn't the set allpkgs the union of all the named releases, e.g. dublin,
kiel, &c. ? If that is true we must offer only that. To offer all the
instances of our packages that were produced over the time can be a
waste of resources, material and spiritual, i.e. is very difficult for
someone to create a coherent set of that even if he's perusing the
source control system's history of the recipes. Consequently, I support
Maciej proposition.
