We could do that. I don't know enough to take a view on whether that's a good idea or not. But I do think it's more important to get something working and rolled-out than spend another 5 years iterating on it to try and achieve perfection. Things that make pkgbase unusable for currently-supported use cases should obviously be fixed, but adding finer-grained packages can come later (or now if you provide tested patches!). Jess
