Mea Culpa. I really should have got the split grimoire discussion going
earlier, but I've been insanely busy the past months and haven't had the
time to sort out the ideas I have and properly put them together. There
are various caveats with splitting grimoires, and topical grimoires like
ones for KDE or gnome may not be the best ideas for the reasons you
already identified.

I promise to get my ideas out to the mailing list this week.

Remko.
