DataTools would be included by virtue of having the web tools included.

Other features, like BIRT will still be available via the update site. 
While I agree that an "enterprise" package should include more 
"enterprise" features out-of-the-box, I'm concerned about having too 
heavy a download. It'd also be a shame if we had to have machine 
requirements that are very large.

I'm thinking along the lines of "what would 80% of the people who use 
this package need it to do?"

I wonder if this should be named "Java EE Developer"?

I think that a separate modeling package should be considered. Perhaps 
as a superset of this one (but not necessarily).
