Having one big tweak addon is bound to fall into disrepair over time. I see it for myself with sidWarTools for example. It tweaks many different things, but on every update that breaks something, I just don't find the time to properly adjust that part, so I end up doing some hackish hotfix or removing it instead.

IMO many smaller addons that each do one thing would be better. That way authors can just publish the one tweak they need, and it's also easier to find it from a player perspective. I believe passing a smaller addon to a new author is also somewhat easier, since they won't be overwhelmed by the amount of code.

Once Minion 4 is released, authors can also create sort of a "meta addon" which bundles any number of those small tweak addons through dependencies and Minion will install and update them automatically.
