Personally I would you keep everything in the main package. I already now two
cases where someone download glob2 and gives it to someone with no internet
access, and this new distribution model would break this natural behavior.
Yet I would enjoy having mods that uses glob2 virtual filesystem to change
things such as graphics or add maps. All the structure is in place for this.
Have a nice day,
Steph
