The documentation sounds better as a home page to me than a link to the
source code.

When I hear the word "unbundle", I think of configuring Racket and Chez
Scheme to use our shared Zlib and removing their vendored copies. I
don't see how the concept applies usefully to the scenario of multiple
pieces of software, some of which are useful independently, being
developed upstream in the same source tree. Like, what would it mean to
"unbundle" gfortran from gcc?
In case of gcc, I think updating the components separately doesn't make
much sense (from what I hear, it's the same situation for Racket and
Zuo, where 'Zuo' is just a component of Racket, not something
independent that's 'merely' a dependency of Racket).
However, for gcc, _building_ the components in separately does IMHO --
many users don't need GCC's Go or Fortran compiler, so they are separate
packages. However, IIUC, currently when building gccgo and gfortran it
also rebuilds the internal dependencies like libiberty and libgcc and
such, which is inefficient, so I think it would be nice to eventually
split the gcc package in its individual component (but sharing a single
origin!).
(I don't know if the second paragraph applies to Racket and Zuo.)
Greetings,
Maxime.
