Andrew,   

I'm confused by your statement "Orbit provides
this software as a zip file containing bundles for all software. This would
be better if it were componentized so that just what is needed can be consumed.
" 

Orbit provides p2 repos full of nice bundle components :-)

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20120119162704/orbitBundles-R20120119162704.p2.map

We don't download the zip, we just consume the bundles we need and have
been approved to consume from the Orbit repos.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share some thoughts around Orbit, maven.eclipse.org, etc. as
I feel it is very important, a deceptively big problem at the moment, 
and I don't think I articulated my thoughts well up to this point. This
wiki page attempts to do so:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CBI/Distribution

I'd like to discuss this as part of the agenda at next week's CBI 
meeting. I'm sure the information on the wiki could use more details for
completeness/correctness, so please help make it so in what ever way is
most convenient for you such as editing the wiki, replying to this list,
calling me, etc.

Thanks very much,

Andrew
