That discussion needs to happen now.

I'll collect the idea after my return from vacations :)

What I have in mind and is going to happen:
- automatically directory handling no more @dirrm* only the empty directory=
 or
  the one with special credentials will need to be specified
- remove of @exec
- remove of the mtrees (from the packages)
- make pkg directly handle plist sub so it become plain search&replace inst=
ead
  of dangerous regex

I have more ideas but I will let everyone share his first
