I'm not thrilled about it, but whatever. I think this entire situation 
is a complete joke, for what it's worth.

Absolutely not. Your ignorance of what a framework is is showing bigtime 
here. I don't believe I stand alone when I say that we won't be breaking 
up things like this. Libraries are a different story, and I dont see any 
reason why they couldn't have -dev packages. Frameworks are designed to 
be self contained and you should be trying to break things you don't 
understand.
