Then please provide facts. Do not get me wrong - I neither want to be nit-picking (well, just a bit ;-) nor I want to fight that idea by any means, but there was just a "sub-packages with StageDir will improve everything" rant without any arguments. > It's going to be a heavily revamped system so people should stop > comparing it to our current architecture. It's only similar on the > surface. Why should we stop to compare it? It aims to replace an architecture and hence performs similar tasks and tries to fulfill certain needs. That should qualify it for comparision in one or another way. Once more: I do not oppose the idea, but right now I do not see any sustainable concept nor anything else. I do not want all those working on it to run into a situation in which more people are unhappy with the solution provided. I also do not want to work with a system that burdens me with tasks that I do not _want_ to fulfill. This is why I ask about all those things, so I can throw in my to cents to make the system appealing for me. And thus I want to understand at least the big picture, concept and workflows.
