Hi Andreas,
I did the original split of Morphic into Morphic, Morphic-Extras and
Etoys, loooong time ago. You're right. The intent was to include there
morphic stuff that is non-core and non-Etoys. The long term objective
was to make those packages unloadable. However, I never got past that
initial split. I have not been the team leader for Morphic for several
years nos. Feel free to restructure those packages as you see fit.
Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
