I think its standard practice to include the whole library, stuff that's not needed for production can be stripped out as part of the automated build (phing/cruise control). A lot of those components will need to be used, for example just because we aren't using radio buttons yet anywhere doesn't mean we won't need a form in the near future that would, so most components should stay in. For example some things that would be nice would be internationalized currency (Zend_Currency) web services (various zend components).

But you're right Zend is still large, and stripping of files as part of the automated build would help. But keep in mind its still in it's infancy, who know how large/small this project will turn out to be yet.
