This is why the test tarballs (which I can now say for certain are NOT final) were published early, to get feedback from distribution packagers. ;-) The monolithic tarball is the entire source tree provided in the original SVN archive structure. The complete tarball is a collection of all the smaller module tarballs in one file for easy downloading. I suppose the traditional packages mentioned above could be provided in one more tarball. Of course, that means that everything else should go in another tarball, which brings up the question of whether or not the "complete" file should be retained as-is or split into two separate files, "core" and "extra".
