I think that the definition of ‘frequent-use’ continuously changes as one uses the library and encounters/learns more and more useful tools. I would vote that the packaging remains as it is.
If one wants only specific headers, I think there was a discussion many moons ago about a tool which would extract the ‘used’ headers for minimizing a final project footprint.
