Ok...so I've read a couple posts on here about not wanting to add so many things to cosmos because it's driving people away from using it etc...
Here's my suggestion to remedy this:
First, just make a really basic cosmos distro (I think this already is there or being worked on).
Second...add on to the website, put some sections for addons...with documentation, screenshots, etc...of each addon, and a download area that has the latest version of the addon...and a nice FAQ on how to install addons...or make self-installers for them...
This would successfully make cosmos very lite...and for those of us that love to have everything in it...we can do that too.
--------------
Second option for this whole thing would be to re-vamp the cosmos***** to allow you to select individual addons that you want to have installed/updated with cosmos when you run the app...if you need help with that I'm a VB developer and I could probably work something out for it...
Just my 2cp worth...and just for the record, i LOVE cosmos, and was extremely lost after the patch when it didn't work...i went in and manually patched the files myself to get the basics working again ;o)
