.. boy, wouldn't it be nice to at least check if the package system
we're about to roll out may support this?

That's the reason I replied about it. Not specifically to make it
happen _everywhere_, but to see if we're about to migrate to a tool
that doesn't support it, making it a much bigger deal to migrate again
later.
