Probably because all agreed with you :-)
At least I don't think it's necessary to split the data, too.
Since nobody has complained about that you can assume that
everyone has agreed, too.

Not splitting the data is also easier for the modpack creators
and also for the distribution/installing/removing their modpacks.
All files including gfx and rulesets (and real modpacks will
use different gfx and different rulesets!) can go into a single
directory and there are not scattered around.
So I'm personally strictly again splitting ;-)

Artur, please tell us exact advances of the splitting. Otherwise
there is no chance to convince me ;-)
