Also, concerning Koma Script: be aware that there are some strong  
disagreements between Markus Kohm and the TeXLive team. Currently  
KomaScript is being included into updates but it is absolutely  
possible that this will stop at some point in the future given Makus'  
objections to repacking his package. (See Markus' blog and the  
TeXLive mailing list's archives for some details.) The situation is  
unfortunate but at least right now tlmgr will deliver the latest  
version.
