As I remember there is a package "lnet" which can be somehow installed 
via internet. I don't remember the details but I believe I've seen this 
a half year ago or so. Why fpspreadsheet and fpverctorial together with 
new utf8 package can't be follow this way of distributing?

Those users who need them can install then using some fp package install 
utility.

I also don't see the big need for hosting the majority of FPC packages 
in the FPC svn repository. Why not to leave there only the basic things 
like windows, osx, gtk and other platform packages and to remove 
everything else outside?
