we can have, for example, packages like: Base, Environment,
Development, DatabaseDevelopment, WebDevelopment, Communication,
Office, Scripting, ...
Well, I like to work with existing packaging systems, since they are
generally more mature and more accepted. But I like the idea of large
packages on a meta level - perhaps where the Package Manager only
distributes and/or installs package sets that are known compatible.
