Yes, I do not think that it is easy for all users to choose a package.

I think that the one where user can install all plugin is simple in the user
who does not understand what user should have chosen.

And the provides of this function is performed in cairo-dock-plug-ins.
However, all users may not be so.
the user read description of the packages well, and who can understand
which plugin is included in which package installs a package by
oneself and will delete it.

The method that you suggest can support only the former.
With the present package, I come by both support.
Which intends for all users whether it is a good thing?

Compiz does not depend on the CPU architecture.
I depend on the hardware which a CPU working.
Please BTS when Compiz is the architecture except IA32 and amd64, and
there is a problem.
I seem to work in most architecture now at least.

# Of course I think that there are many problems.
