Karl, Sebastian, what do you mean?
I think TL should follow teTeX. There are a lot of trees now, for
various reasons.
As far as TEXMFDIST goes -- Frank, its purpose, as Fabrice envisioned
it, is not to be "replaced completely with a new tarball". It's to
provide files which are distribution-independent. That (in principle)
MiKTeX and XEmTeX and teTeX and ... could share.
