I didn't say don't do package mgt. The "pkg" format is in question. If we
use the same format already established in BeOS then we are (1) unique, (2)
reliable with valid checksums. Otherwise it's still an unknown quantity.
I'm working with the new PKG mgr now and will have an opinion concerning it
shortly.
