Why? What's the advantage of full.exe? It's so big that a broken conection is way more annoying than with many smaller packages and it's much more complicated to maintain. We want to be able to substitute single packages when they have an error or a new version is available. A full.exe would have to be build again each time or it wouldn't contain the latest packages.
