Yes. And even if they are needed by somebody who is building some very
specific thing, like a changed time zone file, or custom/fixed properties, I
think it's fine to have them fetch the admin tools. Not bundling them would
prevent people from having that option, but they shouldn't be needed except
in very very special cases.
