Activating the CCK module and all of it's constituent sub-modules is a horrible chore because they're all over the module list. There may be a logical reason for this, but it's a usability nightmare.

Now that there are so many multi-part module suites (e.g. e-commerce, category, cck, etc.) the modules list should find a way to group sub and contrib modules into some kind of nested list on the modules page (I guess that would be an issue to take up with the core).

In the meantime, is there any reason they all couldn't have a common prefix so they would all appear together? The category module employs this technique and it really improves usability.

e.g.

field_text
field_number
field_optionwidgets
field_userreference
field_etc

Any prefix would help: "content_ ", "cck_", hell, even "clownpenis_" would mitigate this "Where's Waldo" effect.
