Ok, the thing is that we have a group of elements which are functionally 
different but belong
to the same organizational group. I cant see how these could even be 
combined in one and the same pipeline.
So putting them all in the same .so is not really optimal because when 
you would use any of them all the others would be loaded into memory as 
well.

Is this clearer to you?
