Jeff has a very good point with respect to XCode download size, it has grown beyond acceptable size.   Even on a relatively solid Internet connection you can't count on a successful download.    It might not be a big problem for everybody but I'm certain it is rubing many of us the wrong way.

Oh by the way yes I want access to all SDKs.  It is just that 4GB for minor updates is a little much.
