example, I don't see the rationale for spending the time and the
effort of creating a subpackage.
That's not a terrible stance to take, until you have a package that
contains all the flags except for say Tibet. Plus you then have to try
and keep a running list of "unsafe" flags, and make sure the package set
is kept up to date with those unsafe removals. In my experience, such
efforts fail.
