Are some missing? To the contrary -- there are too many. A good project would be to survey which ones people actually use, and why -- and then bring their best features into base. This would be difficult to do as a independent skunkworks project, and would be better suited as a high-level, Foundation-sponsored one. (For example, in the Debian ecosystem, for most people, there is no reason to use something other than apt-get, because it does what it should and does it well. Every time I upgrade a port, I have to study /usr/ports/UPDATING, read multiple mailing lists, and hold my breath. I cannot remember the last time I worried about running apt-get. Arguments about flexibility and diversity ecosystem don't hold up well when the basics fail on a regular basis.) Royce
