I do think there are problems, but there doesn't seem to be a clear defined set of what is wrong. IMO, there should be a defined set of goals to judge possible implementations against. In manys ways, simply having a "Lastest" package archive for RELEASE that is rebuilt say weekly which would resolve most of the problems I run into and address some the non-power users desires as well. Anyways, I'm sure this will be an entertaining thread. -- Adam Vande More
