Well, an IPS-package is usually not a blob but installed into a repository
server. A client retreives only the files he needs. This may add development
files for a library, localization files for the locales you like, optimized
and debug versions or just the correct ISA. It is easier for the user if
we provide combined packages and I don’t see any drawbacks (apart from
people who manually extract p5p-archives and transfer these to the clients
which would be very non-ips-lile).


Best regards
