The reason I'd like to see it broken up is that a lot of already is,  
mostly due to the fact that just about every other box on the screen  
(except for title) is a meta box already, and adding/removing those  
are already pretty easy to do.

However, the screen that lists the posts is all kinds of copy+paste  
misery, but still relatively easy to figure out how to do something  
like it for yourself.
