I do not think it will be helpful, but here are some. I can see about |
| 12 |
producing a complete list but it requires time. Knowing there are some and |
| 13 |
more are being added should be enough. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Again even knowing this does not address the problem of why? |

The reasons for the packages may differ, and I do not claim to know details |
| 18 |
about each, as to the reason why -bin vs from source. For Java based ones I |
| 19 |
know why, lots of dependencies not packaged. |

If packages like Hadoop, Zookeeper, Wildfly, and others were added, they would |
| 37 |
likely be -bin as well. Several of these are quite large complex packages. |
