I agree with almost all your points.

Indeed we can start with some minimal number of conponents, and build on
from there. I also agree that endless debates, are - well - endless...

My only concern is that without some overall design, you'll end up with a
pile of packages, and not one consistent library.
I want things to compose nicely, and be extendable.

That's also why I agree that debating the various existing libraries, though
educational is not "good for the cause".

Still, I'd feel better with something organised by ADT properties. Thus MAPS
are fine, where as I'd like clarification about Lists. Are we talking
sequential structures, or about the implementation as linked sturctures?

I prefer maps, queues, dequeues etc.
