Can't you do all of that in a whiteboard or branch?

I think to make an apples-to-apples comparison, the packaging format and
installaion services will also need to be at least defined (better yet
would be to have prototypes available). I thought that was the outcome of
the prior thread we had on this subject. As I said at that point, the
advantage of leveraging VLT is that the existing packaging tool ecosystem
would not need to be recreated.

I guess I just don't see the driver to move anything. But I'm not going to
veto such a move.
