single maps are still distributed perfectly fine via a simple ZIP; MediaPacks are meant for collections - I always thought "themes" would be a big item - or resources of material. Like 10-cool-city-maps, 7-arenas-to-die-in, 3-ctf-mirror-maps, 3-ctf-sided-maps .. or re:resource stuff like 25-textures-for-walls, 101-animal-skins, 42-computer-screens ...
The idea that one, two or maybe - at some point - seven different people semi-regularly package up stuff as a MediaPack is basically sound; the infrastructure allows for full flexibility but there will have to be some quality-control, the person giving out the IDs will filter the proposals and whatever policy is established has to be "enforced" (simply read as: made to work .. please) at that point.
