</div>The new organization does not imply that you can't download one thing<br>
and get the core plus many packages. In fact, we intend to make it<br>
more flexible so that teachers could easily create a distribution for<br>

don't... like textbooks in German.)<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>I want to emphasize this point: there are no plans to change which libraries are included when you download Racket. All of our crazy set of batteries will still be included.</div>
