Sorry, this is a misunderstanding. In the review, I should have made it
clear that it was only a suggestion. I saw 'client' and 'server' and
immediately thought they should be separate. Instead I should have just
asked if this wouldn't be a good idea. If the situation is as Simo
says then by all means, let's don't split the package. Or let's split
it in a way that makes sense. So, sorry for the confusion.
