Use Parts From Symfony, Laravel etc

I think one of the nice things about CodeIgniter is the fact you get a complete managed package in a single ZIP file.
I agree there are great PHP packages out there but, I don't think CodeIgniter should become just another symfony package wrapper with a CodeIgniter "flavor".
That said since the team has limited resources and can't design "everything".
I think it should loss a little weight (another thread) and make it so using 3rd party packages (packagist, sparks2, etc...)
if the developer wants is easier.
