When you try to create a package for additional libraries you will face one (or all of ) these problems:

- code without a license statement
- code without a copyright statement
- code without even the neame of the original author
- code that has been tested on only a small set of boards
- code that is unmaintained

....

The code for the IDE and the basic libraries are all in one place so we were able to sort this out, but I wouldn't want to do this for 10 libs by 15 author coming with 5 different licenses ........

The work is not done after creating a package, you'll have to maintain it too.
