Are we messing up with those small modules?

It's not so clear, so far, what to do with this kind of "utils".

Can we discuss all the pro and cons ?
I have never managed "bundled-multi-sources" packages...

And... should we have a "max-lines-of-code" number under of that the
module should go in a multi-module package ?
